My Concern

My Next Step

Help! I’m a terrible procrastinator.
I’m feeling anxious about my exams.
I’m struggling with research.
  • The Bronfman Library has resources by industry and genre to assist you with citation, business research and more. Check out their “Chat With a Business Librarian” feature on their homepage!
  • When it comes to academic honesty, never guess. Brush up on citation strategies and academic integrity principles with this quick webinar.
I have concerns about my courses or program.
  • See an academic advisor for issues relating to your classes, enrolment and success in your program. Book a time and method that works for you with the 1-1 online booking system.
I’m confused about exam conduct and policies.
I require an exam accommodation.
  • Remember that you must first be registered with York’s Counselling & Disability Services office (cds.info.yorku.ca).
  • Requests for alternate exams must be made online well in advance (3+ weeks). See yorku.ca/altexams/guidelines for details.
  • Students who cannot write an exam on the scheduled date due to a significant religious observance, should contact the course instructor a minimum of three weeks prior to the exam period.
My exams are scheduled too close together or conflict.
  • See if your schedule qualifies as an Exam Conflict, as outlined on pg. 26 of your Academic Handbook.
  • Obtain an Exam Conflict Form from your Academic Forms database in the MySchulich Student Portal and submit it the UPU (W263K).

Good luck! Keep calm and study on✌️
