Nobody
is
made of metal; everybody needs help sometime. If you are
currently
experiencing distress, call (419-372-2081) or visit the
Counseling Center
located in 104 College Park Building (715 E. Leroy Ave.). An
on-call counselor
is available Monday-Friday from 8am-5pm. The BGSU Counseling Center also

facing that, remember that there's help available. The Falcon
Food
Pantry is
here
to support you with nutritious and accessible food. Students,
faculty, and
staff are welcome to stop by once a week to select a bag of
food and hygiene
items. The Falcon Food Pantry is located in 109 Central
Hall and is open
on Mondays and Thursdays from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM and
Wednesdays from 2:30 PM
to 5:30 PM. Please bring your BGSU ID card with you.
Student Conduct
A community exists on the
basis
of shared values and principles. At BGSU,
students, recognized
student organizations, and student groups are expected to
uphold and abide by
certain standards of conduct. You should familiarize
yourself with the Codes,
which create a set of expectations for student conduct,
ensure a fair process
for determining responsibility when student behavior
may have deviated
from those expectations, and provide appropriate
sanctions when a student
and/or student organization has violated the Code(s).
Students
who
violate faculty expectations as outlined in the syllabus may
be subject to
conduct action.
If you
have
questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Office of
the Dean of Students
at 419-372-2843 or odos@bgsu.edu.
