DEAN OF STUDENT SERVICES OFFICE
The Dean of Student Services Office provides quality, comprehensive programs and
services in the areas of student assistance, student conduct and student life across
all five GPC campuses. In addition, each campus Dean’s Office assists with the day-
to-day management of general campus operations.
•
Student Assistance—The Dean of Student Services Office acts as a
student’s “go to” place for information and assistance. From assisting
students with enrollment concerns to connecting students with personal
counseling or academic advisement, the dean’s office is here to ensure
students are successful as they journey through their college experiences.
•
Student Conduct—The GPC Student Code of Conduct contains policies and
procedures to promote the college’s mission and protect the rights of
students, faculty and staff. When students are alleged to have violated the
Student Code of Conduct, the dean’s office guides students through the
developmental conduct process.
•
Student Life—Each campus offers numerous ways for students to become
active and involved through the programmatic efforts of the Offices of
Student Life. From SGA to the Jaguar Activities Group, there are many
student organizations on each campus for students to join. In addition,
students can become involved in Health, Wellness and Recreation
programs or join The Collegian, the college student-run newspaper.
