Policy Number: 63.1

 

SELF-INJURIOUS STUDENTS

 

When the University becomes aware of any student receiving medical attention to assess or treat intentionally self-injurious acts, the student must attend a meeting with the Director of Judicial Affairs (or his/her designee) and the Director of the Counseling Center (or his/her designee). The meeting must occur within 24 hours of the student’s return to campus, unless otherwise specified by the University.  The primary purposes of the meeting are (1) to insure that the student is receiving appropriate follow-up care and can safely return to campus and (2) to complete authorizations to release information allowing appropriate University personnel to openly communicate with treatment providers and with one another.  Continued enrollment may be conditional upon the student’s adherence to treatment and behavioral guidelines determined by the University.  Failure to attend this meeting may result in consequences including, but not limited to, interim suspension and/or a hold being placed on the student’s records.
