End of Winter Term Resources

As the end of the winter term approaches and the exam period draws near, there are many resources available to help you academically and beyond.

As a reminder, the final exam period takes place from Friday, April 11 to Saturday, April 26, 2025. Examinations are normally held all seven days of the week. Please note: there are no exams scheduled Friday, April 18, Saturday, April 19 or Sunday, April 20 (Easter Sunday). Exams resume as scheduled on Monday, April 21, 2025 (Easter Monday).

Wellness Resources

Exam season can be stressful, and it is important we care for ourselves and our mental health while pursuing our academic goals. Our Mental Health and Wellness website has information and resources to help understand, manage and improve your mental health and wellness while at university. If you are not sure where to start, try our Wellness Service Navigator, which is designed to help you curate a list of mental health and wellness resources based on your unique circumstances.

The Wellness Desk in 204A MacOdrum Library is a space for students to learn about resources, connect with our Wellness Coordinator, and decompress during stressful times of the year. You can pop into the Wellness Desk any time during its hours of operation – no appointments necessary! You can chat with the team about what areas you need support on, explore resources, and walk away with services and/or resources to better support you.

How to Succeed with CSAS
