FACULTY GUIDE TO Student Programs and Services [ 2019-2020 ] ALL ABOUT DePaul WELCOME TO DEPAUL 3 DEAR FACULTY MEMBER, This Faculty Guide to Student Programs and Services includes information on university resources, supports and co-curricular programs available to our students. The guide is designed to help new and adjunct faculty become knowledgeable resources regarding co-curricular programs and services in order to encourage and support student progress and success. The guide provides easy access to information when a student question or problem arises, and also allows us to better partner with you to support students during their collegiate years. The Division of Student Affairs develops and implements many of the programs and services found in the Faculty Guide to Student Programs and Services. We provide support services, such as counseling, advising and disability accommodations, along with other programs that foster student success, build community and contribute to the development of the whole student. We do this with a belief in the dignity of every individual, a sense of radical hospitality, and through Vincentian personalism. Members of my division are available to assist in helping you identify appropriate programs and resources for your students. Please take advantage of our expertise and reach out to us if you have questions or need additional information regarding co-curricular learning and student support services. Sincerely, Eugene L. Zdziarski, II, PhD Vice President for Student Affairs 3 TABLE OF Contents ABOUT DEPAUL UNIVERSITY FEST | 11 President | 7 Midnight Breakfast | 11 Mission | 7 New Student Service Day | 11 Colleges and Schools | 8 Premiere DePaul | 11 Residence Halls | 12 CAMPUS LANDMARKS Transition DePaul | 12 Brownstones | 9 Vincentian Service Day | 12 Cacciatore Stadium | 9 Welcome Week | 12 The Chapel | 9 Cortelyou Commons | 9 QUESTIONS FACULTY The Egan Statue | 9 MAY ASK The Holtschneider About Student Behavior | 13 Performance Center | 9 About University Counseling Lincoln Park Campus | 9 Services (UCS) | 16 Loop | 9 About the Center for Students LPSC or STU | 9 with Disabilities | 18 The Merle Reskin | 9 Multipurpose Room | 9 QUESTIONS STUDENTS The Pit | 10 MAY ASK About Academics and Studying | 19 The Quad | 10 About Student Organizations | 20 The Ray | 10 About Student Life | 21 Schmitt Academic Center | 10 St. Vincent’s Circle | 10 ACADEMIC AND SUPPORT Sullivan Athletic Center | 10 SERVICES FOR STUDENTS The Theatre School | 10 Academic Advising | 23 Whole Foods Market | 10 Bluestar | 23 Wintrust Arena | 10 Campus Connect | 23 Wish Field | 10 College of Science and Health Tutoring Services | 23 DEPAUL TRADITIONS DeHub | 23 Alumni and Family Weekend | 11 DePaul Central | 24 Blue Demon Week | 11 D2L | 24 Blue Demon Welcome | 11 DPR | 24 Chicago Quarter/Discover Chicago/ Libraries | 24 Explore Chicago | 11 Learning Commons | 25 DemonTHON | 11 4 Office for Academic Advising Support 25| Multicultural Student Success | 38 S.T.A.R.S. | 25 New Student and Family Engagement | 39 Student Government Association | 25 Residential Education | 39 Student Support Services TRiO | 26 Student Involvement | 39 Tutoring | 26 University Counseling Services | 40 Tutoring and Language Learning Center Vice President for Student Affairs |40 (Department of Modern Languages) | 26 University Center for Writing-based STUDENT SERVICES Learning | 27 Provided by other university departments Ventra U-Pass | 27 or divisions Alumni Sharing Knowledge | 41 POLICIES AND Career Center | 42 EXPECTATIONS Catholic Campus Ministry | 42 Academic Integrity | 29 DePaul Central | 43 Alcohol | 29 Financial Aid | 43 Code of Student Responsibility | 29 Financial Fitness Program | 43 FERPA/Student Privacy at DePaul | 30 Global Engagement | 43 Hazing | 30 Housing and Student Centers | 44 Illegal Use or Possession of Ray Meyer Fitness and Controlled Substances | 30 Recreation Center | 45 Sexual and Relationship Violence | 30 Religious Diversity and Student Handbook | 31 Pastoral Care | 45 Student Accounts | 45 STUDENT SERVICES Student Records | 45 Provided by Student Affairs Study Abroad | 45 Adult, Veteran and Commuter Vincentian Service Student Affairs |33 and Formation Office 45| Athletic Academic Advising | 34 Wintrust Bank | 46 Center for Students with Women’s Center | 47 Disabilities | 34 Dean of Students | 35 CAMPUS SECURITY Health Promotion and Wellness | 36 AND TRANSPORTATION DePaul Student Health Services Public Safety Office 49| Sexual and Relationship Parking Services | 49 Violence Prevention Public Transportation | 50 Survivor Support Advocates Substance Misuse Prevention 5 ABOUTALL ABOUT DePaul DePaul University PRESIDENT A. Gabriel Esteban, Ph.D. MISSION The mission statement embodies the principal purposes of DePaul University. As such it is the nexus between past, present and future; the criterion against which plans are formulated and major decisions made; the bond which unites faculty, students, staff, alumni, and trustees as an academic community. As a university, DePaul pursues the preservation, enrichment, and transmission of knowledge and culture across a broad scope of academic disciplines. It treasures its deep roots in the wisdom nourished in Catholic universities from medieval times. The principal distinguishing marks of the university are its Catholic, Vincentian and urban character.
