ABOUT THE STUDENT CONCERNS TEAM (sct)

Siena College's Student Concerns Team is part of the College's student safety net.  The SCT works collaboratively to support each student's academic, social, spiritual, and mental/emotional well- being and success at Siena.

REPORT A CONCERN TO THE STUDENT CONCERNS TEAM (SCT)

If you need to report an emergency, please contact the Department of Public Safety at 518-783-2999, or dial 911 from a campus phone.
Reporting a concern to the Safety Net is for non-emergency situations of concern.

The Student Concerns referral form is a way to submit information about a student who may be experiencing a challenging situation and needs help connecting to the appropriate resources for support. 

You may use the following link to report a concern about a student: 

You may always contact the Counseling Center to consult with about your concern at 518 -783 -2342 during regular business hours. However, as a confidential resource, they will not be able to communicate your concern to the Student Concerns Team.  Below is a reference guide for identifying the proper point of contact. 


WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A REFERRAL IS MADE:

Once this form is received, a staff member from Student Concerns Team (SCT) will review the information within 1 business day (Reports filed on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or College holidays will be reviewed on the next business day). After initial review, action steps may or may not include contacting the student directly, following up with you as the referral source, reaching out to impacted parties, or reviewing the incident or concern with other College officials as appropriate (Dean of Students, Threat Assessment, etc.).


CONFIDENTIALITY:

We cannot guarantee anonymity; however, SCT will take reasonable steps to maintain the privacy of those who complete a referral, if requested. If the circumstances do not allow privacy to be maintained, this will be discussed with the person making the referral prior to disclosure to the student, when possible. In some circumstances, due to the nature of the reported concern, the identity of the reporter may be evident to the student of concern.

Please also note that SCT is a mandated reporter for Title IX and Title VII concerns and is not a confidential resource. Please refer to the Title IX website for more information related to Title IX and Title VII reporting. SCT will protect the privacy of student information reported via this form consistent with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
