Support during international incidents, global events and crises
SFU community members often have deep ties to their home community. We recognize that world events that impact a person’s home community (conflict, natural disaster, violence or restriction of rights and freedoms) can cause distress and can impact their education or work at SFU.
For faculty and staff
If you are affected by any world event and need support, please see SFU’s Community Supports page.
For students
If you are a student who needs help because of stress or hardship due to a world event, please see SFU’s Community Supports page. SFU also has additional support, including academic concessions (at the discretion of your instructor or professor) for missed classes, uncompleted work, or missed exams, as well as mental health resources and various advising supports for students.
