Asynchronous learning opportunities to support student well-being
The Well-Being for Life and Learning Training is designed to equip faculty and staff with knowledge and tools to support student mental health, resilience, and success. In-person and synchronous sessions are paused this summer, but you can explore five asynchronous modules now available on MyPath.
Know your 60-day window for benefits and life events

Remember: you have 60 days from the event to make changes. Review the full list of life events in the qualifying event matrix.
