Student Health and Safety Course
UNC-Chapel Hill is deeply invested in your overall health, safety, and well-being. Because of this commitment, the Unviersity is providing engaging, evidence-based resources to support your positive campus experience.
Every few weeks during the fall semester, Student Affairs will release a new health and wellness topic to a Canvas course called Student Health and Safety. Please take a few minutes and review each brief module upon its release. Along with educational and skill-building exercises, you will find local and national resources related to the topic in that module. Completion of these modules is not mandatory; modules are recommended to support a healthier and happier Carolina community and continue to strengthen our culture of compassion and care.
