Community Standards & Student Support
Mission
Community Standards and Student Support promotes good citizenship and a culture of care and wellbeing within the Vanderbilt University community. This is accomplished by providing systematic and holistic education, outreach, and support services that aid and empower students in identifying and managing challenges that may impede academic or personal success; developing and implementing programs and training for faculty, staff, and students that focus on fostering and supporting mental, physical, and sexual health as well as resiliency and self-advocacy among students; educating the community on and serving as the central resource for students who have been impacted by sexual misconduct and intimate partner violence; addressing the needs of students who are in distress or have experienced a crisis or trauma, and connecting them to appropriate resources and services on campus; and setting and upholding community standards for students to encourage and facilitate accountability, respect, and responsible decision-making. Through our efforts, we seek to create a healthy and safe campus community in which students thrive academically and personally.

Student Care Coordination
The Office of Student Care Coordination at Vanderbilt is the central and first point of contact for any undergraduate, graduate, or professional student who may have an academic, personal, emotional, medical, and/or other concern. Student Care Coordinators individually assess each student’s needs and explore resources within Vanderbilt’s Student Care Network and/or the Nashville community to facilitate connections to the most appropriate supports. Because a successful plan may include multiple resources, Student Care Coordinators can provide continuity of care and accountability through supportive follow-up meetings with students to evaluate successes, barriers, and/or gaps in support.
