When should I make a referral?

Worried about a student? Noticing changes in their behavior? Want to talk with them about what's going on but not sure how to approach them? Scared they'll get into trouble if you share your concerns?

When you become worried about a student, deciding when to intervene can be confusing. Additionally, the number of resources available to assist students can be overwhelming. The CARE Team is here to help. When in doubt, submit a CARE report. It's always better to err on the side of caution and report behaviors you think may be of concern.

If there's imminent danger to the safety of the student or others, call 911 or Campus Security at 803.940.6690.
