UWindsor Specific Support

The University of Windsor advocates for academic integrity through honesty, education, and enforcement. We aim to create a positive learning environment where individuals learn from the resources and ideas of others while generating their own thoughts and conclusions. We adopt a neutral administrative role when academic misconduct is alleged to have occurred. We ensure that all members involved understand their rights and responsibilities under the Senate Bylaw 31: Academic Integrity and the Student Code of Conduct.

We offer programs and services that help students transition to and through university life, support students in maintaining their wellbeing and mental health, encourage leadership development, fund co-curricular activities, enhance student support and engagement, and assist with off-campus living!

If you are planning an event, please give us the opportunity to “quote”. We are working hard to provide you with quality products at competitive prices while offering our same great service.

The University Print Shop is owned and operated by the University of Windsor. Revenue from our Print Shop stays on campus and helps provide support for our student services, faculties and administrative areas.

Campus Community Police have many of the same powers and authorities for the campus as Windsor Police have for the Province of Ontario. These powers allow officers to investigate incidents, arrest persons, use reasonable force where necessary and bring offenders before the courts.

Authority for officers extends to all properties belonging to the University, the abutting side streets, and affiliated Colleges like Canterbury and Iona Colleges and Assumption University.

Our volunteers are University of Windsor students who have gone through extensive training to better enable them to give support to their peers. The Peer Support Centre is a UWSA initiative, in collaboration with the Student Counselling Centre. We are also supported by Student & International Affairs.

If you are in need of support but aren’t sure what you should do or where you should go for help, you can start by speaking to Dusty at the Sexual Misconduct Response and Prevention Office. She is here to listen. What happens next is up to you. Please know that you can seek her support without any obligation to formally report. You can also seek support regardless of when the assault occurred — whether it was recently or a long time ago, you still deserve to be listened to.

Dusty can also help connect you with counselling and medical services, as well as other campus and community resources. She can provide information about your reporting options, both to the University and the police. If you choose to file a formal complaint, she can support you in the process. She can help arrange academic and workplace accommodations. Finally, she can help you with safety planning.

The Student Counselling Centre (SCC) is a space where registered students can access confidential mental health services at no additional cost to them.  We are committed to creating a welcoming, supportive space.  For those whose experiences of marginalization and oppression that may add extra layers to your distress – you and all your identities are welcome here.

Living on our campus puts you at the heart of a small community. It is the best way to get you connected to friends and campus life. If you are eager to be involved in campus activities and to meet like-minded individuals, residence is for you. Even if you are just looking to step outside of your comfort zone and explore new areas of interest, this is your chance!
