IMPORTANT UPDATE: Virtual Office Support
Based on the current situation, and in order to protect the health of students and staff, we have made adjustments to the way our office is operating. As Western continues to monitor the evolving situation with the COVID-19 pandemic, our priority continues to be finding the best way to support students in achieving their academic goals.
Effective March 25, 2020, and for at least 14 days, the Faculty of Health Sciences Dean's Office will be operating virtually. We will maintain virtual office hours between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
