Campus Safety

The University of Toronto Mississauga Campus Safety consists of 13 officers.  There are 7 Constables, 4 Corporals, 1 Assistant Manager and 1 Manager.  Officers are sworn as Special Constables as set out in the Ontario Police Services Act and possess powers of arrest, search and seizure while engaged in their duties at UTM.

Officers are on duty 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and patrol the campus by means of a marked patrol car, bicycles and on foot.

Health and Counselling Centre

The UTM Health & Counselling Centre (HCC) is your partner in maintaining physical and emotional wellness while studying at UTM. The Centre is staffed by a team of friendly and dedicated health professionals that provide high quality health care to our diverse student body. Funded in part through student fees, HCC services are accessible to all UTM students – part-time and full-time, graduate and undergraduate, domestic and international – and making an appointment is both safe and easy.

We believe:

• That all students should have equal access to non-judgmental, safe, respectful and inclusive care.
• That education, leadership, advocacy and collaboration are fundamental to promoting a healthy student experience and a healthy campus environment.
• That our services are confidential (unless where necessary by law).
• That our health professionals should empower students to make healthy choices that promote success in achieving academic goals and future endeavours.
