Law Student Concern Submission Form


The SMU Dedman Law community looks out for each other and you can help. If you have a SMU Dedman Law friend, student, or child who is struggling, you may report your concerns here, even on an anonymous basis. Concerns may include students who have been missing class, having dramatic mood swings, sleeping too much or not enough, withdrawing from friends and activities; drinking excessively, or feeling worthless or hopeless.

Please provide detailed information about your concern for any SMU Dedman Law student in the form that appears on this page. If you are dealing with an emergency situation, call the SMU Police Department first, at 214-768-3333 or 911. Emergency situations include instances in which there are serious or imminent concerns for a student's personal safety or well-being or the safety of others.

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE PROCEEDING: Based on the "Level of Response" selected and the information provided in the form below, staff will make contact with the student to address your concern.

In most cases "Routine Response Requested" is the acceptable and appropriate tag to apply, and our office will begin a normal outreach process to the student to offer support in various forms as needed and/or refer them to other campus resources. This option is set as the default choice in the "Level of Response" field below.

If "Informational Report Only" is selected, we will retain the submission for possible future reference, but NO contact will be initiated with the student. We may also get in touch with you, the submitter, to clarify the nature and intent of your submission.

Once the form is submitted, all information will be stored in a password protected database. Access to this confidential information is limited to the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs.
