Universities have developed policies and practices to support students of concern and those who are at risk of academic difficulty or failure. University policies can relate to student leaves of absence, student conduct, and classroom practices. We hope to feature policies and practices that support the creation of a compassionate academic environment and that will help establish best practices. Please contact info@bp-net.ca if your university has developed policies and procedures based on a consultation, review or research review process.
