At AUS, the safety and wellbeing of our students are primary concerns. In support of this, AUS has formed the Students of Concern Committee (SOCC), which provides a centralized process to coordinate the university’s response to support students who are exhibiting concerning behavior. The committee coordinates efforts when a student’s behavior could potentially be harmful to self or others and when student welfare is a concern. If necessary, the committee may meet with the student, but most of its communication is with the Vice Provost for Student Life.
If you observe any of the following signs in a student, please contact the Vice Provost for Student Life’s office or to another member of the committee:
SOCC will keep confidentiality and privacy in mind when discussing students. Only those within the AUS community with legitimate need-to-know will be consulted or informed
of confidential or private information regarding a student. The SOCC will balance the request for confidentiality with the safety of the community. SOCC will follow the confidentiality statement highlighted on p. 17 and 23 of the Student Handbook.
SOCC will keep the best interest of students in mind when making decisions on who at the university should be consulted, and when parents and guardians should be involved. Any records kept on students of concern will be kept private through a shared file or SIMS (Student Infraction System).
SOCC recognizes that University Health Services and University Counseling Services are bound by confidentiality, and trusts information will be only be shared when there is a health and safety concern that may impact the safety of the community.
For your convenience, please see the list below of mental health providers. Please visit the provider’s website to check the most updated location and contact information.
