Dean of Students Office
The Dean of Students Office is here to help students and their families navigate the college experience. Our team works to support the safety, well-being, and success of all Bearcats and assists students navigating personal, professional, and academic challenges during their time at UC.
Refer a Student of Concern
Know a student who could use some support? Anyone (ex. a student, parent, faculty or staff member) can refer a student to our office by completing a Student of Concern Referral Form online. Once submitted, a member of our team will reach out to the student within 24-48 hours to assess their needs.
You can refer a student for help with:
- Absenteeism or academic challenges
- Financial, food, or housing insecurity
- Pregnant, parenting or caregiving support
- Injury, illness or hospitalization
- Mental health or substance use concerns
- Death of a friend or family member
- Disruptive behavior or threats
Case managers help students connect with resources, solve problems, and make a plan to get back on track.

- Access food, housing, and other basic needs
