Sharing Resources with Students

Yale courses are challenging, and instructors can encourage students to use all resources at their disposal to navigate their coursework. When university resources are endorsed by instructors on the syllabus, students are more likely to explore support resources and refer to them throughout the semester. On this webpage, you’ll find information about the resources Yale students engage with most frequently to improve their success in their courses. Yale instructors are welcome to borrow and adapt any language or links on this page for their syllabi. 

Helping Your Students Navigate A Syllabus

The Yale Academic Strategies Program has created this video (also displayed below) to help first-year students and others adjusting to college learn how to read and interpret college syllabi. Click here for more videos that support students’ transition to college.

Mental Health and Wellness Resources

Below are a number of resources you can share with your students to support their mental health and wellness. You might consider including a preamble to these resources on your syllabus, such as “Your well-being is important to me. Please know you are part of a broad community of support at Yale. I encourage you to explore and take advantage of the following resources to support your wellness and mental health throughout your time at Yale.” Visit this page for additional ideas to make well-being a pedagogical priority in your course.
