On-Call Services
The Student Life On-Call Team works collaboratively to provide referrals, information, and support to students during an emergency. Team members work together to assess student safety and refer students to appropriate and timely services, including local area hospitals, crisis hotlines, and emergency on-campus housing.
The Student Life On-Call Team responds to urgent or emergency situations such as:
- mental health crisis
- urgent housing issue - e.g. unsafe off-campus housing
- interpersonal violence
- victim of a crime - e.g. burgalry
Students can contact the Student Life On-Call Team regardless if they live on- or off-campus. However, we are unable to physically respond to off-campus locations. Off-campus students may access assistance remotely via phone, or travel to campus to meet in-person with a member of the on-call team.
Mental Health Concerns
For concerns for a student related to mental health and welfare, the Area Coordinator On-Call is often the first responder. When there is a report of concern for a student's immediate well-being, the AC On-Call will:
- gather information from the referring party or student
- contact the student directly
- assess the student's safety
- provide information and guidance
- refer the student to appropriate and timely resources
- connect students to follow-up support
Medical & Security Concerns
For medical and security concerns, Community Safety Officers are often the first responder. Community Safety Officers are trained to provide first aid and facilitate a connection to timely or emergency medical services when appropriate.
Follow Up Services
Following any on-call event, the on-call team will connect the student to the Office for Student Support for continued case management and referral to appropriate resources.
