Students of Concern

Faculty, staff, students, and others who are concerned about the safety or behavior of a student are encouraged to talk to the student directly, and/or refer the student to the Care Team for assistance.

Some of the circumstances one may consider contacting the Care Team about a student of concern are:

  • academic or personal distress
  • emergency/crisis situations
  • concerning or unsafe behavior
  • post-hospitalization support
  • financial hardship
  • death or serious illness of a family member
  • personal health and safety needs
  • other extenuating circumstances
