Guiding Success, Supporting Resilience

The Dean of Students leads an office dedicated to supporting students’ academic success and personal well-being.

Staffed by associate deans, coordinators, and case managers, the office administers the campus misconduct processes for both academic and non-academic cases, ensuring fairness and helping students grow from these experiences. Additionally, the office assists students facing personal crises, emergencies, and unexpected financial challenges, offering guidance and connecting them with essential resources.

Moreover, the Dean of Students Office serves as a central point for students to voice complaints or concerns, helping them navigate the necessary procedures and understand their options. This holistic support aims to enhance students’ resilience and enrich their overall campus experience.
