Support for student concerns

How the process works.

Once a Student of Concern report is submitted, the Director of Student Life will review and assess the information in order to determine the best course of action for follow-up. This is done on a case-by-case basis and the type of follow-up will vary depending on the information available and the circumstances surrounding the report. Follow-up may include reaching out to the student directly and working with the student on a success plan or appropriate referrals. The Director of Student Life may contact you for additional information.

Please note that once you have submitted an SOC report, you may not receive any specific follow-up information due to privacy laws and regulations.
