There are a few kinds of situations that require an immediate response: When students are in such significant emotional distress that their ability to function is seriously impaired or when they pose a threat to themselves, others or property.

Call the Counseling Center Ext. 8331 Immediately When:

• A student makes overtly suicidal comments; e.g., referring to suicide as a current option.
• A student is experiencing impaired speech or garbled, disjointed thoughts, bizarre or strange behavior that is obviously inappropriate to the situation; e.g., talking to "invisible" people.

Call the Staff & Faculty Consultation Center Ext. 8360 Immediately When:

• The psychological emergencies described above do not involve a student.

Call Campus Security Ext. 5000 Immediately When:

• There are high levels of irritability, including unruly, aggressive, violent or abrasive behavior.
• There is a serious and imminent threat to harm another person or property.
• Call Security in these situations whether the person is a student or not.
