Students of Concern

The Students of Concern Committee (SCC) is managed by the Dean of Students and comprised of individuals from the across the University who are dedicated to the academic success and personal development of our students. The SCC is focused on intervention and assistance for those who need additional support or who experience personal, academic, emotional, physical/mental health, or behavioral obstacles to their success.

Any member of the community who has knowledge of a student of concern may submit a report the SCC. You may always consult with the Dean of Students Office by calling 718-990-6568. To get started, please visit Student of Concern Report (this reporting form is not an emergency hotline or service).

The SCC does not serve as a crisis response team, nor does it replace faculty classroom management, and/or Public Safety’s response to an incident. Emergencies must be reported to Public Safety at 718-990-5252.

Hate crimes and acts of bias and discrimination are prohibited by University policy, federal, state, and local law, and article four hundred eighty-five of the New York State Penal Law. Hate crimes and acts of bias and discrimination are acts motivated by a belief or perception regarding the race, color, national origin, ancestry, gender, gender identity or expression, religion, religious practice, age, disability, or sexual orientation of a person.

A person who commits a hate crime and/or acts of bias and discrimination may face University discipline, up to and including expulsion, as well as civil liability and criminal prosecution.

All reports are investigated thoroughly and adjudicated through the University’s applicable policies and procedures. Hate crimes and acts of bias and discrimination, as well modifications to security procedures made in response to such acts, may trigger campus-wide notification of new security procedures through emails, phone calls, and/or text messages.

The University offers counseling and other support services to victims of hate crimes and acts of bias and discrimination through the Center for Counseling and Consultation at 718-990-6384 and the St. John’s After Hours Mental Health Helpline at 718-990-6352.

Hazing Related Incidents

All reports are reviewed by the Office of Student Conduct.

Available Resources

The Early Alert System is designed to assist faculty with concerns that may arise regarding students enrolled in their class. If a faculty member is concerned about a student’s academic performance, we suggest the faculty member begin by having a direct discussion with the student about the issue and exploring potential solutions together.

If the student is not making progress after that discussion and extra support from a Case Manager or Dean is warranted, please submit an Early Alert. These alerts can be submitted throughout the semester; however, please take this action when a concern is first noticed.

The types of alerts you can issue that may impact a student’s success include absences/tardiness; missing work/exams; needs tutoring; significant change in student’s behavior; concern for student’s emotional, mental, or physical well-being; or uncertainty of how to respond to a situation or a student or you are unclear who to contact but have concerns about a situation or a student.

For more information on how to submit an Early Alert, visit https://signon.stjohns.edu.

Select the “UIS” application.
Go to the “Faculty Services” tab.
Select “Detail Roster with Photo.”
Select “Fall 2023” and submit.
Select the appropriate CRN, and the “Faculty Class List” will be generated.
Look under the student’s picture and click the hyperlink that states “Early Alert–for undergraduates only.”
Once you have the form, select all appropriate boxes, and submit.

What happens next?

After submitting an Early Alert, you receive a confirmation email. For first-year students, the alert is forwarded to an Academic Advisor and Case Manager. For continuing students (i.e., second-, third-, and fourth-year students and graduate students), the alert is forwarded to an Advising Dean and the Dean of Students.

The Case Manager/Dean contacts the student to address the reported issue(s) and devise an action plan to resolve the matter. The student is encouraged to share a summary of the action plan with their professor; the Case Manager/Dean also follows up with the professor.

In rare instances, there are critical situations that demand immediate attention, such as when a student is experiencing severe depression or poses a risk of harm to themselves or others. In such cases, it is imperative to escalate these concerns.
