Students of Concern Committee
The Students of Concern (SOC) Committee's goal is to foster early identification of concerns about students. Early review of problematic situations can reduce the impact to students and/or their classroom, social or living environment.
If you are a student, friend, family member, faculty or staff member who is concerned for a student, you can submit a CARE Team referral.
CARE Team Referral: See resources section for CARE Team referral form.
If you feel the student is an imminent risk to themself or others you should first contact University Police (777-2222) or 911 and then submit a CARE Team referral for follow up support.
If you are unsure about bringing a person to the attention of the SOC Committee, you should still continue to the referral form. Based on the information provided and the level of intervention determined, the CARE Team will determine how best to support the student.
Be aware you may be contacted by a committee member to help in gathering information about students; this is done to help identify ways to best support the student and overall university.
The SOC Committee can:
- help coordinate the University response to students who demonstrate violence, threats to self or others, or are significantly disruptive
- develop action plans intended to support student and community safety, prevent violence, support student development and maintain a campus environment conducive to learning
- consult with faculty, staff and students involved in or affected by a student's behavior, and other individuals as appropriate
The Student of Concern Committee meets weekly during fall and spring semesters and as needed based on concerns brought to the committee.
Information may be shared with referral source(s) and/or other campus professionals on a need-to-know basis.
