Student Support and Outreach

Dear family and friends of Goucher students,

As we kick off a new academic year, we want to remind you that the students’ well-being is our top priority.

Student Support and Outreach Team

Our Student Support and Outreach team is here to assist students with any challenges they may face at Goucher College. Whether they are feeling homesick, missing classes, facing financial concerns, dealing with physical illness, or experiencing any other challenges, we’re here to help. Please complete this wellness form if you believe that your student can benefit from additional support and resources while attending Goucher. A Student Support and Outreach team member will contact the student to determine what potential support can help the student thrive while attending Goucher.

Student Accountability (Conduct)

If your student shares with you an incident that may violate our Student Code of Conduct or Residential Life Policies, we encourage you to support them in taking the initiative to contact us directly. Empowering your student to report concerns on their own helps them develop essential life skills and ensures that the situation is handled quickly.

However, we recognize that there may be instances where your student might feel hesitant or uncomfortable reporting the incident themselves. In such cases, we have made a reporting system available to the public. You can submit an incident report by using our online reporting form. Every report is carefully reviewed, and we will follow up to make sure the matter is resolved.

If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us at care@goucher.edu for student support and outreach concerns and accountability@goucher.edu for student accountability (conduct) concerns.

We look forward to a wonderful academic year and to working with you all to help your student have an enjoyable college experience!
