Creating a Supportive University - Consider some or all of these suggestions

• Work with accessibility services as needed
  • Services for Students with Disabilities
• Syllabus language should address health and well-being as needed
  • Encourage self care
  • Incorporate resources
  • Syllabus Inserts 
• Offer space for students to connect with you and other students as needed
• Consider the impact of assignment deadlines and content of assignments
  • Self reflective assignments
  • Midnight deadlines
• Provide grade checkpoints throughout the semester
• Incorporate wellness activities or life skills into curriculum- if it fits
• Exam time management training
• Work collectively across departments
• Create social connections in class when and where appropriate
• Share resources at opportune times
• Avoid stress producing language
  • This exam will make or break
  • This class is designed to “weed out” students from the program
• Don’t cancel classes
  • Keep students in their routine
  • Consider asking supportive offices such as Health Promotion & Prevention
  • Services, CARE Team, UCC, MSW Reslife Program or DDEI to present information sessions instead.  
• Create opportune times for faculty to connect and consult on concern and helpful strategies
• Participate in other professional trainings offered both on and off campus
