The Assessment and Care Team (ACT) is an interdepartmental team that meets weekly to review, assess and respond to student cases regarding behavior that is concerning, disruptive or dangerous to themselves, members of the University community, or the community.  The ACT strives for early identification with a focus that is preventative and educational in nature.  The goal of the team is to consider the best interest of the student and the campus community.

The ACT will:

Educate and empower the campus community to recognize and report concerning behaviors;

Gather information to assess situations involving students who display concerning or disruptive behaviors;

Determine appropriate intervention and support strategies;

Refer students to appropriate campus or community resources; and

Monitor ongoing behavior of students that have displayed disruptive or dangerous behavior.
