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

Work with accessibility services as needed

- 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

- 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
