You may complete the short referral form and someone will reach out to you or the student.
The form is the same and will be reviewed in the same manner. Care Team referral is often used when there is a safety and or security issue. These may then eventually be moved to Case Management. You do not need to figure out what the student needs. What is important is that you refer!
If you are concerned about a student’s well-being and/or there are barriers present to their success at NDSU a referral is appropriate. We will reach out to the student to assess what the issue/s might be, while offering support and assistance. If we cannot assist the student, we will connect them to the resources they need either on or off campus.
If the student is having a mental health concern and is unsure about going to the Counseling Center, we can address the student’s concerns and normalize the counseling process, as well as help the student connect with counseling and/or other supports.
