The Office of the Dean of Students provides a number of services to assist students with medical, academic, financial, and personal emergencies. To access these services, students or their families should notify the Office of the Dean of Students at (404)894-6367.

Notification of Instructors:
The Office of the Dean of Students will notify students’ instructors of absences of two days or more. Notifications are e-mailed to each instructor with general information, such as “medical,” explaining the absence. Students are responsible for contacting individual instructors to arrange make-up work. Determination of excused absences is left to the instructor.

Personal Counseling Referrals:
The Office of the Dean of Students can contact, on behalf of the student, Counseling Center, Women’s Resource Center, Health Center and/or other community services for assistance in arranging emotional or personal counseling support.

Assistance in Contacting Roommates:
The Office of the Dean of Students will contact student’s roommates to inform the, in general, of a student’s absence from the room or apartment.
Accommodations for Temporary and/or Permanent Disabilities:
Access Disabled Assistance Program for Tech Students (A.D.A.P.T.S.) The Office of the Dean of Students can assist students in arranging for academic accommodations and extracurricular activity. For students living on campus, A.D.A.P.T.S. can contact the Department of Housing for assistance in arranging accessible housing. Off-campus students can work with A.D.A.P.T.S. for assistance and advocacy in arranging accommodations in their off-campus housing.

Academic Referrals:
Students often need some outside assistance in making decisions about continuing courses, incompletes, refund schedules and deadlines. The Office of the Dean of Students can provide this information and contact the student’s faculty and/or major department to get more specific information to the student.

Withdrawing From School:
Some students find that due to the length of their recovery and impact of their personal emergency and/or missed classes, they are unable to make-up the missed work. In these cases, students may decide to withdraw from school. The Office of the Dean of Students can assist students with withdrawal procedures and help coordinate resulting housing issues.
