Student Concerns System

Emergency

The Student Concerns System is a communication resource designed for all members of the Belmont University community to report non-emergency concerns about a student’s health, well-being or safety.

The Dean of Students Office encourages all Belmont employees and students to utilize the system to share concerns, large or small. Professional staff will help identify the concerns expressed and connect them to helpful resources as needed. Please provide as much information as possible. Information supplied greatly assists in determining/following up on concerns.

The Student Concerns System is not 911 and should only be utilized for non-life-threatening concerns.

Please contact Campus Security for all immediate safety concerns at 615.460.6911.
