UCR Campus Resources

Here is the canonical list of student resources hosted by UCR. All instructors and TAs should link to on their syllabus, and be aware of if they notice a student that needs help.

studentwellness.ucr.edu/student-success-resources

One link not on that page that really on TAs and instructors need to know about is the Student Conduct & Academic Integrity page, just in case they’ve got to go through the procedure of reporting and incident or confronting a student.
