Faculty are frequently the first to find out from students when they're struggling. Students may not know whom else to turn to for help. At the same time, faculty are not trained as counselors and often unaware of the various student support services at 国产AV.

To assist faculty and students in these situations, CELT compiled the below referral guide for student support. Faculty can easily click through the accordion of topics to see brief explanations and contact information for resources on campus to which they might refer students in need.

Faculty are also always encouraged to utilize 国产AV's Student Success Portal to flag students whom academic advisors and student support staff might assist as well.
