Academic Support Services
The Office of Student and Alumni Services (OSAS) provides support for students for personal and academic needs. See section 5.2.6 on Accomodations for Class and Examinations below. The School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences (SHRS) also provides an Academic Support Counselor whom students may contact for assistance in matters related to academic performance.
Academic support services can also assist students in navigating challenges with peers, colleagues or mentors. If experiencing challenges with an Academic Advisor or Research Mentor, the following options may help you to obtain support or resolution to your concerns:
- Discuss your concerns with your Research Mentor directly as part of regular meetings. Aim to be proactive with raising small concerns, rather than reactive with concerns that have compounded over time.
- Discuss your concerns with your Academic Advisor and seek their support as a member of your advising team.
- Connect with the SHRS Academic Support Counselor, who is trained to support IHP students with communication, managing difficult conversations, and conflict resolution. In addition (or alternatively), seek support and counsel from EAP.
- Raise your concerns with the Program Associate Director or Director.
If your concerns remain unresolved following steps 1-4, refer to Section 11 of this document (Petitions and Complaints).
