This study, involving 16 students, examines college bereavement support, revealing five key themes: (1) the impact of the college transition on support; (2) deficiencies in staff support; (3) the significance of visibility to college staff; (4) student challenges during college bereavement; and (5) student expectations for support. The transition from elementary to college, compounded by bereavement, poses unique challenges. College support often prioritizes attendance management, neglecting emotional needs and fostering isolation. Recommendations include: (1) establishing clear support frameworks in a comprehensive bereavement response policy; (2) assigning a dedicated staff member with bereavement expertise; and (3) providing training for all staff to create an empathetic and supportive college environment for grieving students. These enhancements aim to address the identified deficiencies and ensure holistic support throughout the college experience.
