I am stressed out or having health problems – what can I do?

First please note many students find graduate school very stressful. Talk to other students, find time to eat properly and exercise, and if you need help contact Health and Counselling Services. If you miss an assignment for health reasons, contact your instructor. If your health is affecting your TAship, please contact the instructor for the course and the Departmental Administrator. If you miss a final assignment for health reasons, contact the instructor and the Graduate Administrator in order to discuss an alternate arrangement or accommodation. If your health problems are interfering with your studies, it is vitally important to get proper documentation. Any health-related problem must be supported by a proper medical certificate.
