== Student Support

==== Help during exams
Students registered with the [https://students.ubc.ca/about-student-services/centre-for-accessibility Centre for Accessibility] may request various types of academic accommodations. Please make requests as early in the term as possible to ensure arrangements are in place.

==== Managing stress
Personal concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, depression, or cultural adjustment can affect academic success and well-being.  
For support, please contact [https://students.ubc.ca/health/counselling-services/ Counselling Services] or connect anytime with [https://here2talk.ca/ Here2Talk], a 24/7 mental health support service for post-secondary students in B.C.
