The Dean of Students Office serves as the principal liaison and resource for students, faculty and staff within the university community. We encourage students' participation in campus life and advocate for those needs and values that are supported and validated by DePaul University's mission.  The office administers and adjudicates implementations of the Code of Student Responsibility.  Staff members educate students about appropriate behavior, refer students and parents to university resources and services and advocate for students with faculty and administration.  In collaboration with the College of Law, the staff mediates student disputes.  The Dean and other administrators of the department bestow support by assisting students with whatever needs they may have, either directly of by personal referral.
