I (Dr O’Brien) am sharing some general useful resources below: openly-accessible freely-available information from the University. I use these resources a lot in the advising side of my work, you might also find them helpful, and they could also help you to help someone else. There are many\u00a0people here at UBC who can help; even if it is \u201cjust\u201d talking to someone with whom you feel comfortable and whom you trust, who will listen to you, that alone is already a vital service.<\/p>\n
The same goes for any need to talk and to find support, whether something has happened to you or to someone you know, and also if nothing has happened but you worry that it might. Even if sometimes this seems like an overwhelmingly large university, and impersonal through its size and complexity: UBC is a compassionate caring community, made up of individual human beings.<\/p>\n

Academic advising at the departmental level may be another set of people to talk to, and again as with advising at the Faculty or School level, this is not just about a narrow sense of immediately academic matters: for example, here are the Academic Advisers in French, Hispanic & Italian Studies<\/a>; students regularly talk to us about many things, all of which (and pastoral care) form part of any individual\u2019s whole well-being.<\/p>\n (1) Undergraduate residential advisers, and other student leaders who have had bystander & ally training<\/p>\n (2) Neighbours, friends, and classmates<\/p>\n (3) Faculty and other instructors (graduate-student teaching assistants, for example): you see us a lot, and we are here for you<\/p>\n (4) AMS:<\/p>\n Through talking with them about academic matters during your time here, you may have already formed relationships with individuals with whom you would consider talking about other matters.<\/p>\n Academic advising at the departmental level may be another set of people to talk to, and again as with advising at the Faculty or School level, this is not just about a narrow sense of immediately academic matters: for example, here are the Academic Advisers in French, Hispanic & Italian Studies<\/a>; students regularly talk to us about many things, all of which (and pastoral care) form part of any individual\u2019s whole well-being.<\/p>\n A quick selection of some of the most important ones…<\/p>\n “I hereby accept and submit myself to the statutes, rules and regulations, and ordinances (including bylaws, codes, and policies) of The University of British Columbia, and of the faculty or faculties in which I am registered, and to any amendments thereto which may be made while I am a student of the University, and I promise to observe the same.”<\/b><\/p>\n <\/b>[…] Students are required to inform themselves of the statutes, rules and regulations, and ordinances (including bylaws, codes, and policies) and to any amendments thereto applicable at the University.
