iCARE  •  iCARE  assists  students  struggling  because  of  poor  academic  performance,  poor  attendance  or  behavioral  issues.  Faculty  members  refer  students  for  academic  performance  and  attendance  issues.  Any  member  of  the  university  community  can  report  a  student  for  concerning  or  disruptive  behavior.  The  iCARE  reporting  form  can  be  found  by  accessing  the  link  available  on  the  OSRR’s  website.  Reports  also  can  be  made  via  phone  or  email.  

Students  with  poor  attendance  and/or  academic  performance  are  contacted  to  determine  causes  and  possible  solutions.  The  OSRR  staff  works  closely  with  academic  advisers,  the  Academic  Assistance  Resource  Center  and  Residence  Life  to  offer  students  the  best  possible  opportunities  for  success.    

Behavioral  issues  are  handled  as  confidentially  as  possible  and  may  involve  a  meeting  with  the

student  of  concern  to  find  solutions.  Cases  may  be  referred  to  the  student  conduct  process  or,  if  very  serious,  may  be  assessed  by  the  university’s  Behavioral  Intervention  Team  (BIT).    

BIT  •  A  multidisciplinary  team  composed  predominantly  of  professional  staff  members;  evaluates  extreme  behavioral  cases  to  fashion  the  best  possible  intervention  for  a  student  of  concern’s  success  in  all  areas  of  university  life.  

Student  Conduct  •  Alleged  violations  of  the  Student  Code  of  Conduct  are  handled  to  ensure  procedural  due  process  fairness.  Student  conduct  is  viewed  as  part  of  the  total  educational  process  of  the  involved  student.  The  Code  and  these  procedures  are  on  the  OSRR  web  page.

Student  Support.  Absence  Notifications  •  Students  missing  class  for  legitimate  reasons  other  than  university-­‐sponsored  trips  may  request  a  notification  be  sent  to  their  instructors.  This  is  not  an  excuse.  Instructors  have  the  right  to  determine  the  nature  of  satisfactory  documentation.  

 

Student  Advocacy  •  The  OSRR  is  a  great  starting  point  for  questions  or  concerns  about  university  policies  and  procedures.  The  staff  works  with  students  to  find  answers,  make  appropriate  referrals  and  coach  them  in  difficult  situations.
