Student Resources
Student SocietiesThe Psychology Student Society strives to foster a community where all paths of psychology can be explored with the respect and aid of our peers. We aim to provide opportunities for our members, regardless of creed, to socialize and move forward with their paths in psychology.
Are you new to MRU and are looking for resources? Or, have you been a student for a while, but need assistance in something new? We have a new student information cheat sheet that will help answer some of your questions, such as where can I find help with learning, finanaces, as well and mental and physical health. Please see the document below for a list of helpful resources:
We encourage all psychology students to participate in events so they have the opportunity to meet each other and bond to advance with their curriculum. However, all students are welcome to join. These events will be beneficial for psychology majors to gain insight with respect to their education. We also provide a space in the EA building (room 3005) for psychology students to socialize, interact and relax. Overall, we provide resources and guidance to all psychology majors and support to those pursuing a minor or with a general interest in psychology.

How to Report an Experience of Discrimination
You can report your experience to the Chair of the department, Nancy Ogden (nogden@mtroyal.ca), by setting up a face-to-face meeting or over email. You are always welcome to bring an advocate or support person with you to any meetings.
Alternatively, you can report your experience to the Office of Safe Disclosure at MRU.
If you want to talk about your experience(s) and process them, Student Counselling is another option.
The Office of Student Experience can help you get connected to other supports on campus as well.
