How to Stay Connected With the Dean of Students Office at the University of Arizona

Updated

The Dean of Students Office at the University of Arizona (deanofstudents.arizona.edu) is the central support hub for all Wildcats, and it invites students to follow its social media platforms to learn about campus resources, see what other Wildcats are doing, and get reminders about upcoming events. The site's "Stay Connected with Us!" section is the starting point: it points to the office's social media community and to three student-run media outlets it houses. If you want updates and event reminders, following those channels is the direct route; if you need help with a specific problem, the Student Assistance team is the better first contact.

What the Dean of Students Office Does

According to the office's own description, it is "the central support hub for all Wildcats" and is committed to student engagement, well-being, and academic success. Its work is organized into three areas:

  • Student Assistance – helps students, along with their family, friends, faculty, and staff, navigate University resources, understand policies and procedures, and manage crises, life traumas, and other barriers that impede student success.
  • Campus Communities – houses several programs that connect students with campus, with the goal of fostering a caring culture where all students feel supported and equipped to thrive during their Wildcat journey.
  • Student Rights & Responsibilities – sets the expectation that students uphold an honest academic environment and abide by the standards of the Arizona Board of Regents; all members of the University community are encouraged to know these expectations and understand their rights and responsibilities.

How to Follow the Office's Social Media

The site's "Join Our Social Media Community!" section states that following the office's social media platforms is how you learn more about campus resources, see what Wildcats are up to, and get reminders of fun upcoming events. The page presents the platforms as images rather than text links, so the exact handles are not spelled out in the page text. To find them:

  1. Go to deanofstudents.arizona.edu.
  2. Scroll to the "Join Our Social Media Community!" section.
  3. Select the social platform icons shown there to open the office's profiles.
  4. Follow the accounts to receive resource updates and event reminders in your feed.

If an icon does not open, search the platform directly for the University of Arizona Dean of Students Office.

Student Media You Can Follow Instead

The same "Stay Connected" area highlights three student-run outlets housed within the department. These are separate from the office's own social accounts but are part of its campus communities, and each publishes regularly:

Outlet What it is How to access it
The Daily Wildcat Award-winning, student-managed and student-produced news outlet serving the University of Arizona and greater Tucson since 1899; publishes daily and distributes a print newspaper across campus and neighboring communities DailyWildcat.com
KAMP Student Radio Home to more than 100 student volunteers and employees hosting shows in all genres of music, talk, sports, and more; students manage the station and provide mobile DJ services to campus organizations and local businesses Follow links from the Dean of Students Office site
UATV 3 The University of Arizona's editorially independent, student-run television station, broadcasting to more than 6,500 students across the UA's 23 on-campus residence halls via "Channel 3," plus online streaming platforms such as Facebook Live Channel 3 in residence halls, or the station's online streams

When to Contact the Office Instead of Just Following

Social media is for staying informed. For anything that needs a response, use the Student Assistance team, which the office describes as helping students and their family, friends, faculty, and staff navigate University resources, understand policies and procedures, and manage crises, life traumas, and other barriers to student success. That description covers situations such as a personal crisis, a question about a University policy or procedure, or difficulty finding the right campus resource. Rights and responsibilities questions—including academic honesty expectations and the standards set by the Arizona Board of Regents—fall under the Student Rights & Responsibilities area.

The site does not list phone numbers, office hours, or a contact form in the material available here, so use the navigation on deanofstudents.arizona.edu to reach the relevant team directly.
