Services & Support
Have questions, but not sure who to ask? If you’re an upper-year student in engineering or architectural science, a good place to start is within your department. Helpful staff and faculty are available to provide you with the answers you need or guide you in the right direction.
If you’re looking for other general services – for example, those related to career development, personal growth, counselling and more – the university offers many on-campus resources designed to support you in every area of your life.
Note: First-year engineering students should contact the First-Year Engineering Office for assistance.
