Support for students with caring responsibilities
Studying is only one aspect of your life. Are you combining your studies with caring for your child or providing unpaid support to a child or adult? If so, talk to your study adviser about the facilities and support UM may be able to offer you. The study advisers are here to help you.
UM is proud to be a caring university. We know that it can be difficult to balance your studies with caring responsibilities.
That is why we offer facilities and support that make it easier for you to manage both. Depending on your personal situation, available support may include:
- Preferred scheduling
- Extra exam opportunity
- Adjusted exam location
- Access to the lactation- and resting rooms
- Financial support if you incur a study delay due to special circumstances
We recommend informing your study adviser about your caring responsibilities as early as possible. This allows you to discuss the options available and get the support when you need it.
