Students can expect certain services, like counselling, to continue to be offered by phone and video chat option even after a return to campus.

Ryerson University has announced that several of its Student wellbeing services will be permanently offered online due to the success of the online delivery during the pandemic. For example, Ryerson’s Health Promotion service, designed to help students navigate supports and services, will be offering services online as well as a series of virtual workshops to help students navigate campus. “It is incredible to be part of a team that converted an in-person service delivery model to a completely remote model within days,” said Allan MacDonald, executive director of Student Wellbeing. “We’ve learned a great deal from this experience, and we will almost certainly be able to apply our learning as we continue to update and innovate our Student Wellbeing support system.” In addition, the Academic Accommodation Support will launch a new website this Fall that will provide students with information about the university’s Strive Online program, a drop-in learning strategy, and assistive technology support for students with disabilities.
