Welcome Spartan Parents!
The Dean of Students Office recognizes the important role that parents play in their student’s lives, and we encourage parents to be active participants in our UNCG community. We strive to create a “culture of care” at UNCG. Not only are we here to assist students, but we want to be a resource to parents and families as well. The Dean of Students Office is here to help students in distress, talk students through their options, and get them in touch with resources that can help
Support Services
Staff in this office assists students who need help determining who to talk to, what service to utilize, how a policy works, and a number of other concerns. Issues can range from a death in the family to the best way to communicate concern to a faculty member. Staff also respond to crisis situations involving students in order to provide support for the individual and the University community.
Support of University Values
Members of the UNCG community respect fundamental principles for ensuring a campus environment conducive to peaceful and productive living and learning. These principles include five values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility. This office coordinates policies such as the Student Code of Conduct, which primarily sets expectations for behavior, and the Academic Integrity Policy, which primarily sets expectations for coursework. Members of the community who adopt and live by the five values in their community life will seldom have need of the Code or Policy. When members of the community fail to observe these principles, the Code and the Policy are used to affirm the minimum requirements for conduct in the University community.
