Student Support Resources
If you're looking specifically for resources for new students, have a look through our
New Student Resources and Welcome to Edmonton pages
Some of the following resources can also be accessed on the UofA Current Students webpage; others are created specifically for you by folks here at Amii. They include resources for both new and current students. You can also use the links on this page to find relevant support resources, including mental health resources.
If you are a graduate student, you can also access support resources through the Graduate Student Assistance Program. It provides a wide variety of free services such as counselling and advice, crisis support, legal services, financial services, lifestyle services (personal trainer, nutritional counselling, smoking cessation). You will need to specify that you are a graduate student at the UofA and provide your OneCard number to receive these free services.
