Dean of Students Office Reporting System
The Dean of Students Office at Virginia Tech continues to partner with faculty and staff members to support students for whom any of us have a concern. Over the years, concerns have been shared through phone, e-mail, and face-to-face contact with staff in the Dean of Students Office. These referrals have often enabled staff members in the Division of Student Affairs to assist students toward their pursuit of success in and outside of the classroom.
To further complement the ongoing efforts to address recommendations of the 4/16 Governor’s Review Panel, the Dean of Students Office at Virginia Tech is now offering a tool for faculty and staff members to use in sharing concern for a student.
Faculty and staff members are encouraged to share concern for a student with the Dean of Students Office, enabling a more complete profile of the student in distress. The system is in place as one more available tool to report a concern. Phone calls to the Dean of Students Office are still welcomed and encouraged. As always, matters needing immediate attention should be directed to the Virginia Tech Police Department at 540/231-6411.
This is not a system to use for emergencies.
Faculty Access:
The “Dean of Students Reporting System” is available within the Hokie SPA/Faculty Access menu. Faculty members have the ability to report a concern for any student assigned to them, either enrolled in a course or as an advisee.
Staff Access:
Deans, department heads, and directors are strongly encouraged to identify critical staff members who they wish to have access to the Dean of Students reporting system. Deans, department heads, and directors will need to send an email to dean.students@vt.edu with the name of the critical staff member they wish to have registered for the reporting system.
