Procedure
  1. Faculty or staff who have a concern about a student who is exhibiting any of the above criteria should complete and submit a brief online form located on the Warner University website. This reporting process is monitored by the Assistant to the President for Campus Development and the Dean of Students exclusively. Once the form is completed and submitted, the person submitting the report is encouraged to contact the student and let him/her know about the concern and the referral to the Student Support Team. The person submitting the report will also receive an automatic email notification that the submitted report has been received.
  1. The Student Support team will review the referral and determine which resources are available to help the student and what intervention strategies are appropriate. The team will then identify an individual (contact person) who will oversee the follow-up process with that student.
  1. The Contact Person will discuss the recommendations with the student and will encourage the student to take advantage of those services. The Contact Person will continue to communicate with the Student Support team regarding the progress of the student.
