As we head into midterms, it is common for students’ concerns to become more apparent. The Office of Case Management and The Center for Student Success and Retention wanted to share more information on when to submit an Academic Concern vs. when to submit an ICare Referral.
The following are examples of when to complete an Academic Concern form.
-
Infrequent attendance or completely stopped attending class.
-
Non-communicative behavior or not responding to email/outreach attempts.
-
Procrastination, incomplete assignments, or turning in poor quality work.
-
Decline in grades.
-
Difficulty managing course load.
-
Exhibiting disruptive classroom behavior (i.e. argumentative, confrontational, harassing).
Below are examples of concerns that are best addressed through the ICare process. For more examples, please visit our Behaviors of Concern & Signs of Distress page.
-
Emotional and mental health concerns.
-
Difficulty getting connected to resources on or off campus.
-
Disclosure of non-academic stressors.
-
Concerning social behaviors.
Please note that the ICare team establishes a plan for outreach based on the severity of the concerns presented.
