## Whether you're in the Yard, a House, or the Dudley Community, you have an extensive residential support system.

### About your residential support system

Resident Deans oversee the academic and overall wellbeing of students, and you can contact your Resident Dean’s office to set up an appointment. First-year students can also turn to their Proctors and Peer Advising Fellows (PAFs), and upper-level students in the Houses and Dudley Community can turn to their Tutors. In the Houses, Faculty Deans are a further source of support and guidance. In addition, House Administrators are an important resource for any concerns related to housing, and Academic Coordinators are a key support for any questions about routine academic matters.

- **Support During Business Hours:** The First-Year Experience Office, House Offices, and the Dudley Community Office are open during weekday business hours.
- **Support After Hours:**If you are a **Harvard College student** and you have a concern after hours, you can reach out to your  or Tutor.
  - In the case of an **emergency or other urgent situation**, you can contact the designated [Proctor or Tutor on Call](/tutor-and-proctor-call-contact-information) in your Yard, House, or Community in addition to 911 or HUPD (617-495-1212).
