I am afraid something
has happened to my student? What can I do?
Sometimes students don’t communicate as frequently
as parents think they should. Roommates don’t
always pass on messages, and spur of the moment activities
happen. But if you have reason for concern, you can
contact the Dean of Students Office. We can check with
housing staff, professors, roommates etc. to make sure
your student can be accounted for, and encourage your
student to call. If you feel it is an emergency, use
one of the emergency contacts in the lower left window
on this page.
My student has shared
concerns about hazing and/or other potentially dangers
behavior in a student organization. How can we report
this?
If there is any immediate threat to student health/safety
after hours, contact the Dean of Students through our
on-call number at (404)894-2500. During normal business
hours you or your student can contact the Greek Affairs
Office, the Office of the Dean of Students, or the Office
of Student Integrity. The more detailed the information
provided, the better our chances of effectively confronting
the behavior. You may also call (404)385-2291 and leave
an anonymous report, however the message will not be
received by a staff member of the Office of the Dean
of Students until the next business day.
What if there is a family
emergency?
The Dean of Students can assist you and your student
in dealing with a family emergency. You can call the
office at (404)894-6367 and let the person know this
is an emergency - someone will be able to assist you
immediately. If it is after hours, call (404)894-2500.

My student has shared
concerns about sexual harassment and/or sexual misconduct
issues? How can we report this?

Center and the Sexual Assault Task Force. The Dean On
Call should be paged. One of the Deans will mobilize
