Services for Off-Campus Students

Are you a student who is studying off campus, or are you unable to access our in-person mental health because you’re in a community-based program? If so, we have a Distance Student Support Advisor who is available for you. They’re here to help you with anything that may be preventing you for achieving personal or academic success. Issues they can help address include stress, anxiety, loneliness and isolation.

To contact our Distance Student Support Advisor, please email at distancesupport@ucalgary.ca and indicate the community in which you are studying.
