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 people 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<p>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<p>QUICK NAVIGATION:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#acad\">Academic advising<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#supp\">Student support, including how to help other students<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#stress\">Stress, anxiety, sleep, well-being, exam preparation<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#safe\">Safety, accidents, emergencies<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#poli\">UBC policies, procedures, rules, &amp; regulations<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a name=\"acad\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-400\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/fren101\/files\/2013\/12\/folon-arrowheads-222x300.png\" alt=\"folon-arrowheads\" width=\"222\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>ACADEMIC ADVISING<\/h2>\n<p>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<p>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, <a href=\"http:\/\/fhis.ubc.ca\/group\/advisors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here are the Academic Advisers in French, Hispanic &amp; 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<p>UBC FACULTY OF ARTS<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Arts Student Support: <a href=\"http:\/\/students.arts.ubc.ca\/student-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">students.arts.ubc.ca\/student-support<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Arts Academic Advising: <a href=\"http:\/\/students.arts.ubc.ca\/advising\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">students.arts.ubc.ca\/advising<\/a><br \/>\nBuchanan D111<br \/>\nMonday \u2013 Friday 9:00 am to 4:00 pm<br \/>\n(usually afternoon (1-4 p.m.) = drop-in, extended hours at the beginning of term, further details follow below)<br \/>\nClosed weekends and statutory holidaysThe Arts Academic Advising Office provides drop-in advising, Monday to Friday (1-4pm) in Buchanan D-111, answers brief questions via email or you can ask a quick general question on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ubc.foa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Arts Facebook<\/a> page.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/students.arts.ubc.ca\/advising\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-890 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/fren101\/files\/2014\/08\/Screen-Shot-2015-09-02-at-5.23.56-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2015-09-02 at 5.23.56 PM\" width=\"720\" height=\"220\" \/><\/a>Email: Please include your student number<br \/>\nDomestic Students \u2013 <a href=\"mailto:arts.advisor@ubc.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">arts.advisor@ubc.ca<\/a><br \/>\nInternational Students \u2013 <a href=\"mailto:arts.international@ubc.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">arts.international@ubc.ca<\/a><br \/>\nAboriginal Students \u2013 <a href=\"mailto:arts.aboriginal@ubc.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">arts.aboriginal@ubc.ca<br \/>\n<\/a>Phone: 604.822.4028 *For current UBC students<a href=\"mailto:arts.aboriginal@ubc.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/students.arts.ubc.ca\/advising\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-891 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/fren101\/files\/2014\/08\/Screen-Shot-2015-09-02-at-5.26.53-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2015-09-02 at 5.26.53 PM\" width=\"872\" height=\"235\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Faculty of Arts grading guidelines: any course marks and your final grade may be adjusted to comply with these guidelines.
