Centre for Students with Disabilities
The CSD offers specialized programs and services to students with disabilities registered at the University of Guelph (full-time or part-time undergraduate and graduate). Eight areas of disability are recognized as likely to occur among the university population: learning, attention deficit disorder, hearing, vision, physical, medical, acquired brain injuries, and emotional/psychological (including Asperger's Syndrome). Our advisors, support staff, Peer Helpers and volunteers work with students, faculty and staff in the provision of programs and services designed to assist students with disabilities in participating fully in university life, and in maximizing campus accessibility.
Multi-Faith Resources consists of a team of leaders or representatives from a number of different faiths, all working together to meet the religious and spiritual needs of the university community. Multi-Faith Resources are committed to promoting friendliness, religious understanding, harmony in diversity, and spiritual growth on campus.
Offers individual counselling sessions to help support students as they work through the personal challenges that impair their ability to succeed at school and in other areas of their lives.
The Student Support Network, an after hours confidential, non-judgmental listening & support service is a program offered by Counselling Services which is managed by a professional and delivered by a team of dedicated students who receive extensive training.
Student Life supports students in the many transitions they experience - from the time they are admitted until they graduate. We are committed to the development of the whole student and, as such, help students explore their capacity for leadership, overcome barriers to learning, assume the responsibilities of a global citizen, engage in campus and community life, and contribute toward meaningful change.
The Centre for New Students supports incoming undergraduate students in their transition to the university and throughout their first year of study. During Orientation Week we collaborate with more than one hundred campus partners in delivering a range of events and activities designed to expose new students to the rich network of opportunities that exist on campus. Through programs such as STARTonline.ca, Momentum and Off Campus Connection we help students make important connections and navigate the university community. To help new students who are struggling academically, we also offer Back on Track in the fall semester and Bounce Back in the winter. In addition, we've teamed up with student initiatives like OUTline and CampOut to offer support and information about sexual orientation and gender identity issues. Through all that we do, students are the driving force in creating, implementing and evaluating our programs as volunteers, staff, peer helpers and experts in their own experiences.
Community Engagement & Global Citizenship
Community Engagement & Global Citizenship fosters leadership, community engagement and social change through active collaboration and meaningful learning experiences. This unit challenges students to imagine what is possible, to seize opportunities to deepen their learning, and to effect individual and collective transformation as active, global citizens.
Off Campus Living works closely with students, residents, City staff, landlords, and City Councillors to help facilitate communication and to ease the way for students who live in Guelph. We also provide a range of programs and services to support students in making the transition to off campus living, in navigating new relationships with landlords, house mates and neighbours and, through the Information Desk, finding their way on campus and in the local community.
