Welcome to the Dean of Students Office.

Our mission is to support, advocate for, and empower students throughout their academic journey.  Whether you’re facing a personal challenge, navigating a university policy, or looking for resources to help you thrive, our office is here to help.  We serve as a central hub for wrap-around support, connecting students to critical services such as Counseling and Psychological Services, Student Legal Services, the Center for Student Care and Advocacy, Knights Helping Knights Pantry and Student Conduct and Academic Integrity.

College is a time of growth, not just academically, but personally as well.  With growth comes both challenges and opportunities.  We believe in fostering a campus environment grounded in always supporting you with respect, accountability, and care.  That means holding students to high standards while offering compassion and guidance along the way.  When issues arise, our team works to ensure fair processes and meaningful support that encourage learning, reflection, and forward progress.

Whether you are in need of immediate help or just want to better understand the resources available to you, our team is here to listen, guide, and walk alongside you.

You do not have to go it alone.  We are here to help you meet challenges with confidence, celebrate your victories, and make the most of your time at UCF.

Go Knights!
