UVic supports students with families

Striking a balance

We recognize that taking on graduate studies while negotiating parenting, family and other life commitments is no easy feat. From finances to child care, there are many important factors to consider. Striking a balance between school, work and home can be difficult no matter how prepared you are for the challenge. With this in mind, we aim to support you and your loved ones as you advance your academic aspirations. In addition to our flexible program options, our financial, career, wellness and family supports are here to help.
