F.A.Q.s:
Dean on Call
Support for students in need
Students and community members can access the Dean on Call (DOC) by calling 617-258-5152. The caller will be connected with a third party dispatcher who will take down the caller’s phone number and any relevant information, and facilitate a call-back from the DOC. Students and community members can also access the DOC by calling the MIT Police at 617-253-1212 (or x100 from a campus phone). MIT Police will take the caller’s phone number and contact the DOC for a call back.
The Dean On Call program provides support to the learning, growth and development of all MIT students. In an effort to provide this support, MIT maintains an On-Call System to respond to emergency needs involving our students and their affiliates when the Institute is closed. The Dean on Call is staffed by the office of Residential & Community Life, and provides immediate response and follow-up in the event of student/campus emergencies and crises by working with with other resources in the MIT community (MIT Police, MIT Medical, Emergency Response Personnel, Student Support Services (S3), Office of Graduate Education (OGE), Heads of House, Housing and Residential Services (HRS) and others).
