Care Coordinators
The Dean of Students Office (DOS) can connect students with Care Coordinators, who provide guidance and support in navigating campus resources. Care Coordinators are private, meaning the information you share is not automatically disclosed, but they are not confidential. They help students determine next steps and connect with counseling, advocacy, or medical services.

What happens after a report is made?
Reports may be received through employee disclosures (such as from faculty or residence life staff), referrals from confidential resources, law enforcement notifications, online submissions, or direct outreach to the Dean of Students Office.
After a report is received, staff from the Dean of Students Office will typically reach out by phone or email to offer an intake meeting. The purpose of this meeting is to:
- Check in about your well-being
- Explain available resources and supportive measures
- Review applicable policies and resolution options
- Answer questions about reporting or investigation processes
Students do not need to request a university or law enforcement investigation to receive support. Reports are handled as privately as possible, consistent with FERPA and University policy, and information is shared only with individuals who have a legitimate need to know.
If a formal complaint is filed and an investigation is requested, the Dean of Students Office works with EORR to assign an investigator and initiate the appropriate process.
