The Office of the Dean of Students seeks to cultivate a culture of care where students feel safe and supported during their time at Boston College. Part of this culture of care is responding to reports of concern. Whether you are concerned about yourself or others we are here to help.
Student of Concern
Are you concerned about the well-being of a student, peer, or yourself? The Student Support team in DOS will consult with you about how to support a student and will meet directly with students who are having difficulties or aren't sure where to go for support.
Conduct Violation
The Office of the Dean of Students reserves the right to not proceed with complaints not submitted within a reasonable time frame including, but not limited to instances in which material witnesses are no longer in attendance at the University.
Bias Reporting
Boston College students may report any suspected violations of the University's "bias-motivated conduct" policy that involves other students by calling us at 617-552-3470, by emailing studentconduct@bc.edu or by filling a report.
Campus Accessibility Reporting
We are committed to ensuring and improving physical and technological access on campus. If you notice or run up against a barrier that restricts access to BC programs, services, activities, or facilities, please report it via our reporting form. You can find more information on our Disability Services page.
