In 2018, the University of Toronto Governing Council approved the University-Mandated Leave of Absence Policy (UMLAP). Following its approval, the policy became a source for student and wider community concern about its potential to create stigma and be a barrier to help-seeking at the University. Given these concerns, the Presidential and Provostial Task Force on Student Mental Health underscored that the policy's period review was essential to ensure continual dialogue. In 2021, the Innovation Hub was tasked to support the Review Committee in its student consultation process to provide an opportunity to foster education understanding of the policy's background. In addition, the consultation set out to collect student feedback of U of T students' thoughts beliefs, experiences, and suggestions of and for UMLAP.
