Faculty can connect students to mental health & well-being resources to support academic success.
This syllabus statement recognizes that student well-being is interconnected and that multiple campus resources are available to assist students. The review process was collaborative, with input from:
- Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs (SACUA)
- Well-being Collective – Advisory Council
- Central Student Government
- Rackham Student Government
- The Center for Research on Learning and Teaching (CRLT)
