Student Assistance Services

The Office of the Dean of Students provides a number of services to assist students with medical and personal emergencies.
To access these services during regular business hours, students and/or their families should notify our office at 404.894.6367. In the event of an after-hours emergency, individuals should contact the Georgia Tech Police Department at 404.894.2500 and request that the “Dean on Call” be contacted. There is an emergency “Dean on Call” at all times to assist students in need.

Personal Referrals
The Office of the Dean of Students can contact the many campus resources such as the Counseling Center, Women’s Resource
Center, Health Center, and other community services for assistance in arranging emotional or personal support for students.

Academic Referrals
Students often need assistance in making decisions about academic matters. Our office can assist students with contacting
their faculty and/or major department to resolve questions or concerns.

Withdrawing from School
Some students find that a personal or medical emergency during the school term can impact their ability to attend classes or
make up the missed work. In these cases, students may decide to withdraw from school. Our office can assist with Georgia Tech’s
withdrawal procedures.

Assistance in Contacting and Coordinating Family Needs
The Office of Dean of Students can serve as a contact point for families. Please feel free to contact us regarding any questions
you have about policies, services, and special events, e.g. Family Weekend and Commencement. Parents who are concerned
about the well-being or success of their student are encouraged to contact our office for advice and support.
