What does the ACT do?
The ACT supports students and intervenes when necessary for the broader safety and wellness of an individual or community. The team utilizes various strategies to help identify problematic situations and develop an appropriate response. The ACT typically meets weekly; however, the Chair or other members may call for additional meetings as needed to discuss pressing issues. Immediately high-risk situations are referred to the university Threat Assessment Team (TAT) for timely coordinated response.
Is the ACT process confidential?
Every effort is made to ensure the ACT process is handled with respect for personal information. However, in situations where there is significant risk full confidentiality may not be possible. While we cannot promise complete confidentiality, we are committed to maintaining an elevated level of privacy in accordance with FIPPA regulations.
