Upon suspension of classes and subsequent campus closures due to COVID-19, Sheridan Student Union began planning how to best continue supporting Sheridan students throughout this transition.
Working closely with Sheridan College to determine student priorities, fast action was taken in assessing the modification of services and processes to best support the current and evolving needs of the student body while ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our community.
Here are some ways we are working to continue our support for Sheridan students:
In light of great uncertainty surrounding the Spring / Summer term and a desire to assist students however possible, SSU eliminated the collection of the SSU Student Life Fee, SSU Building Fee and the SSU Capital Fee for the Spring /Summer term.
The Virtual Food First program was developed to provide students facing food insecurity access to electronic gift cards in lieu of being able to access the SSU Food Bank.
Continued support provided through student Health & Dental coverage for all domestic students at Sheridan College.
Continued support provided for all academic and social clubs and associations at Sheridan College.
Continued support provided through Empower Me – a mental health service that connects students with qualified counselors and life coaches remains accessible 24/7 online.
Continued support for students who require Legal Advice provided for free via phone and email.
Multiple online events and information sessions take place weekly to inform students, build community, and provide entertainment for students virtually.
Supports and services will continue to evolve alongside the considerations of the Coronavirus pandemic and its effects on our community, however, we remain committed to supporting you during this unprecedented time, and always.
