STUDENT SUPPORT PROGRAM

As key points of contact for our students, it is important that we all be aware of support systems available to them.  The University of Prince Edward Island offers a student support program which students can access through mystudentsupport.com or by phone at 1.855.649.8641

At no charge to them, this link offers students immediate and confidential help for any concern through a variety of platforms (chat online, e-counselling, video counselling, on-line booking of services, etc).  Support is available in 200+ languages.
