Department of Student Affairs – Student Support

Facing academic exclusion can be overwhelming, but there are resources to help you navigate the process and take the necessary steps forward.

Consider reaching out to the Student Counselling Unit, for assistance. They can connect you with community mental health resources. While the unit cannot facilitate readmission to UP, they can offer a one-time online session to help you access the necessary support. Email [email protected]
