We know that students face challenges both in or out of the classroom, especially during this busy time in their lives. Student Care and Support provides triage, support, coaching, and education for students, faculty, staff, and parents so the entire Belmont community can actively support our students as they navigate this exciting (yet sometimes challenging) role of being a college student.
We work with students to offer holistic care including:
- Academic Concerns
- Emotional well-being
- Mental health
- Grief
- Physical Health
- Financial Insecurity
- Housing or Food Insecurity
- Relational Stress
- Eating Disorders
- Body Image or Nutrition
- Violence or Harassment

Student Concern System
The Student Concern System is a resource designed for all members of the Belmont University community to use to report non-emergency concerns about a student’s health or safety. The Dean of Students Office encourages all Belmont faculty, staff and students to utilize the student concern system to share your concern, large or small. Professional staff from the offices of Student Care & Support and the Dean of Students will assist in identifying the type of concern and connect students of concern to helpful resources on an as needed basis.

The Student Concern 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.
