Bullying & Harassment Central Hub
All SFU students, staff, and faculty have a right to be treated with respect and dignity. If you have experienced, witnessed or are supporting someone who has experienced bullying and harassment, you can connect with our Anti-Bullying Specialist to seek confidential information, support, or guidance.

- Help with academic or other concessions at SFU
- Information on reporting options available to you and assistance with accessing these options
- Information about personal privacy and confidentiality
