What Happens When I Make a Referral?

· BIT developed a protocol to ensure that critical student behavior or mental health issues or incidents are addressed appropriately. When a referral is submitted through the Advocate (BIT) website, the Director of Student Conduct and the BIT team members immediately receives the report via email. The Director of Student Conduct evaluates each report and contacts all members of BIT to assess any resources needed and collaboratively develop an action plan with the student to reduce obstacles for their success at Marshall University.

· BIT members will assist the student in coordinating with existing campus resources currently being utilized and then works with the student to monitor progress.

· In the event that a student is perceived to be at risk of harm to self or others, BIT may coordinate with appropriate University offices to assist the student.

· BIT may determine that there is no need to take any further action but will monitor the situation and concern.
