Students are encouraged to seek help and advice from the Director of Student Services.

The Office of Student Services staff can provide support and guidance for both school and non-school matters that cause stress, anxiety, or worry.

Whether it is a one-time meeting or regular check-ins, we recommend students seek out the advice and support needed to be successful.

Should students have issues or concerns with a fellow student, a staff person, or faculty member, the Office of Student Services is there to provide guidance on how to handle the matter.

For official complaints and grievances please see the Grievance Policy and the Satisfactory Academic Progress sections of this catalog.

In addition to one-on-one meetings, the Office of Student Services can also provide referrals and recommendations to individuals and organizations in the community who can provide additional help.

The Cafeteria is the social hub of BHDI. It is a convenient place to grab a cup of coffee or a sandwich, chat with friends, and relax between classes.
