Helpdesks

Student Life Centres centralise and provide helpful information and services dealing with:

  • How the university works and the services provided, redirection to the appropriate service that can handle your request
  • Questions related to your student life, assistance with day-to-day procedures (accommodation, employment, financial aid) and public services (CAF, TBM, etc.)
  • International student support upon arrival and throughout their stay to make them feel more at 'home'
  • Involvement in university associations or playing a socially responsible role in the community.

 

Please note

Students on sites without helpdesks can contact the Student Life Centres (BVE), admissions office or their academic department administrative office.
