Student Counselling
Wellness and Counselling Services – available Free of Cost - supports the academic, personal, and social growth of students from diverse backgrounds and with specific, individual needs. The college years can be times of accelerated growth and learning, significant challenges, and considerable stress. It is normal – and even expected – for students to encounter difficult or stressful events. However, when students use the resources available to them, there is a much greater chance of success and overall well-being.

- The Podium computer can be streamed to all the the desktops in the AA1A, J208, J216, J220, J319, and G304 labs. The students just need to select the Sheridan Podium Viewer icon in the dock while the professor is presenting.

- We have Apple TVs in most classrooms. To connect, select the Apple TV (not always listed as such so you might have to do some trial and error with the HDMI inputs) on the list at the podium. Choose the classroom number from the airplay menu on your computer. Enter the connection code that appears on the projected image of the Apple TV menu.

Central Equipment Room (CER)
There is audio visual equipment that can be signed out by faculty and students from the Central Equipment Room (CER), located in room C110. CER is open Monday-Friday: 7:30 AM TO 4:00PM. Equipment can be booked online for later pickup, or can be picked up directly from room C110. You must show your Sheridan OneCard in order to sign out equipment. Any equipment reservation NOT picked up 30 minutes before the CER closes , will be cancelled and available for any other “day-of” bookings.
- It is the student’s responsibility to check all their equipment before leaving the CER . If equipment is damaged or missing components, then the student should immediately report the problem to the CER staff. Checking the equipment immediately on sign out ensures you will not be held responsible for any pre-existing damaged or missing equipment when you return it.
- Any student, who takes out equipment is responsible for returning all the equipment on-time, to avoid being issued a late fine.
- Students should also ensure that they return ALL items that came as part of a kit including USB cables, SD cards, manuals, etc. Failure to do so may result in your being charged to replace the missing items.
- Students will NOT be allowed to reserve any equipment/facility during the Christmas break or after the last day of classes of each term without the written authorization of the Program Coordinator. Under no circumstances will students be allowed usage of any equipment/facility after the end of the Academic year.
- A confirmation email, outlining your rental contract - equipment list, check out time, and check in time - will immediately be sent to your Sheridan email upon check out time. It is advisable to keep a hard copy or electronic copy on-hand, for spot security checks and as a reminder of what equipment needs to be returned to the CER.
