The Student Wellness Centre is Open During Exams

The Student Wellness Centre is open and here to support you during the exam period on the Brantford and Waterloo campus.  If you need to see a doctor, or if you need counselling support, drop in or give us a call. We're here to help. Scroll down for a complete list of hours and scheduled closures from now until the end of the winter break.

If you need tips or advice on coping with exam and test anxiety, visit our Wellness Library and check out Managing Test Anxiety: How to Prepare Before the Test and Managing Test Anxiety: The Day of the Test.

The Student Wellness Centre does not provide sick notes or verification of illness forms for missed classes, labs, or tests. Medical documentation is not required when you miss a final exam due to illness. Please follow your faculty-specific petition guidelines on the Deferred Exams page that include making a personal attestation of your illness.

We hope you have a safe and restful winter break.  Make sure you know where to get support when we are closed by visiting our Urgent and After-hours Care page.
