Academic and Career Support

As your student works towards their educational goals, they should expect to find elements of the coursework challenging. While these challenges help to broaden knowledge and develop skills, students are also encouraged to reach out for help. UPEI offers a wide variety of academic support programs, including:  

Personal Support and Student Health

Physical and emotional health play an important role in the student experience, and while stress is a natural part of the university experience, a focus on health is the most effective way to manage stress. Family and Friends are encouraged to talk to their student about prioritizing their health needs. This includes adequate sleep, regular physical activity, nutritious food choices, and minimizing excessive alcohol or drug use.

UPEI offers services, facilities, and staff who are happy to meet with students and help address their health needs. These services include:
