Emergency Assistance
The Dean of Students office can provide assistance to students and families in the event of a documentable emergency circumstance that interferes with the student's class attendance. The Dean of Students office will coordinate with relevant campus resources to support the student's successful return to the university. Another form of Emergency Assistance can include financial hardship. Students needing emergency assistance should complete the online form below. To avoid delays it is imperative that you provide a thorough and complete description of your circumstances in the details statement and then upload all the supporting documentation you have available. Please email deanofstudents@gsu.edu or call 404-413-1515 for assistance.

Information regarding student's class schedules cannot be released for any purpose by the Dean of Students office. However, in the event of a verified family emergency such as a life threatening situation or serious illness, staff will make an attempt to deliver a message or contact a student in class regarding the emergency information during regular business hours (Monday - Friday, 8:30 a.m. - 5:15 p.m.).
In the event a student is hospitalized and cannot contact his or her professors, the professors can be notified of the absence. Upon returning to the university, the student can follow up with his or her professors to determine the ability to complete any missed assignments. Alternatively, if the student is unable to remain enrolled due to the nature of the emergency situation, the student can receive guidance and assistance regarding the withdrawal process.
