Recovery College Week 6: Managing Academic Stress & Exam Anxiety
Sometimes, a single grade can get inside your head and make you question your ability to succeed in your program. The pressure to earn high marks, often called “academic perfectionism”, is something many post-secondary students experience.
In this week’s session of YU & Balance, participants will explore how stress affects academic performance and learn practical strategies to manage it as you prepare for exam season. By the end of the session, participants will have tools to recognize stress, respond to it effectively, and protect your confidence during exams.
This session is part of a 6-week Recovery College series. For each session attended, participants will receive a $5 gift card. To receive the gift card, you must attend the full session (approximately 45–60 minutes). Unfortunately, we’re not able to provide gift cards for partial attendance. Gift cards will be emailed after the session to the same email address used to register and join the session.
Space is limited, and registration is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. If the session is full and you’d like to be added to the waitlist, please email hstacey@yorku.ca. We’ll reach out if a spot becomes available. If you’re registered but can no longer attend, please let us know as soon as you can so we can offer your spot to another student.
