Dear students,

We recognize that ongoing international events may be affecting members of our community, particularly those with family, friends, or personal ties to regions experiencing unrest. We want to acknowledge the stress and uncertainty this can create and to reaffirm that support is available.

McMaster has shared a range of academic, wellness and financial resources for students impacted by global events. Student Services and Financial Support can assist students facing financial challenges, including flexible payment options and emergency funding.

If these circumstances are disrupting your academic life, we encourage you to connect with an academic advisor. Advisors can help you think through academic accommodations, course planning, and next steps during this time.

If you are impacted and need support, please connect with the university resources outlined here.

Please know that you are not expected to navigate this alone, and help is available.
