Students of Concern, Sexual Assault, & Behavioral Consultation Team

Guidelines and resources

These guidelines were developed by the IU Office of Completion and Student Success and then adapted to our context at IU Indianapolis, specifically gathering feedback and insights from Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) and the Office of Student Conduct. The Campus Advising Council adopted these guidelines for the IU Indianapolis campus to guide our work in responding to students of concern and documenting those interactions appropriately.

Guidelines for interacting with students of concern at IU Indianapolis

Sexual assault and relationship violence

As an advisor, you are considered a “responsible employee” and therefore have certain obligations when a student or colleague discusses with you an incident of sexual assault or relationship violence. Specifically, you have an obligation to support the student or colleague and to report the incident to the appropriate campus authorities.

You can provide support by sharing resources from stopsexualviolence.iu.edu. Note that CAPS is a confidential resource that can be used by individuals who are not ready to report an incident. Once you’ve provided support to the student, you'll need to report the incident to a Title IX coordinator.

Behavioral consultation team

As discussed above, there will be many situations in which you'll need to contact the Behavioral Consultation Team (BCT). The BCT is a campuswide team designed to support the health, safety, and success of the IU Indianapolis community.

They provide consultation, make recommendations for action, and coordinate campus resources in response to reports of disruptive or concerning behavior displayed by students, staff, or faculty. Use the form below to notify the BCT.

Note: All concerns requiring immediate attention (e.g., criminal, violent, threatening, or imminent suicidal behavior) should be directed to the IU Police Department (317-274-7911).
