 U of T Health Survey
The 2019 National College Health Assessment (NCHA) survey has been released to about 10,000 students on the St. George Campus, and another 2,000 will be sent to graduate students in March 2019. Grad students, we would appreciate your assistance in filling out this survey, as it shapes the ways we embed health into aspects of administration, operations, and academic mandates across campus.
