Addressing issues like stress, isolation, burnout and sleep imbalance is better done as soon as early signs show up.

The mandatory process to secure course/exam accommodations (Aménagements d'Études) requires a specific medical consultation once the interview with the disability advisor is completed ( at the Disability and Study department).
