- As a mentor of a graduate student, who do I contact if I have a question about the student's academic training?
Answer: Contact the student's program director as a first step.
- As a mentor of a supported Ph.D. student, who do I contact if I have a question about the student's financial support?
Answer: Contact your fiscal administrator as a first step. If that does not resolve the issue, contact the Associate Dean for Graduate Education
- What do I do if a student is in distress?
Answer: Immediately contact the student's program director, the Associate Dean for Graduate Education, or file a report with the Dean of Students.
- What do I do if I believe a student is capable of self-harm?
Answer: Immediately take the student to University Counseling Services. If that is not possible, call VCU Police (phone: 804-828-1234). In either situation, file a report with the Dean of Students.
- What do I do if I suspect a student of violating the Student Code of Conduct or VCU Honor System?
Answer: Contact the Student Conduct and Academic Integrity Office or the Associate Dean for Graduate Education for guidance. Alternatively, file a conduct report or an honor violation report.
