WHERE TO GET HELP
NUS Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) Cares for its Community
Our FASS community is a diverse and caring group of students, teaching and administrative staff who strive to maintain a safe, respectful and healthy environment for one another, regardless of race and ethnicity, religion, gender identity and gender expression, sexual orientation, age or whether one has a disability. If you ever need help or find yourself in distress, we will always support you. Equally, FASS does not condone any forms of bullying or harassment. We take a very serious view of such offences and will deal with them accordingly. FASS and NUS as a whole have a number of dedicated advisory, consultation, support, security and emergency services you can access.
