As we cannot accommodate drop-ins, please consult鈥� 鈥� for a list of off-campus clinics. Please note you may鈥� be charged for this service.
From Counsellor or Local Wellness Advisor
While counsellors and local wellness advisors don't make decisions regarding academic accommodations, they can provide letters of support in certain cases.
If you see a clinician before exams or deadlines, you can talk to them about receiving a letter outlining the circumstances that have contributed to any academic difficulties.
Letters are not written after the fact鈥� if the clinician has no previous knowledge of the circumstances leading up to the difficulty. Documentation is only provided at follow-up appointments with a clinician (not an initial consultation).
From a Psychiatrist
Medical notes from a psychiatrist are written on a case-by-case basis.
From a Doctor
You can request a medical note during the appointment with a doctor.鈥疦urses cannot give medical notes.
