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.

Bias, Discrimination, and Hate Crime

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.

To submit an Early Alert, please follow these instructions:

  1. Go to signon.stjohns.edu.
  2. Select the “New UIS Experience” application.
  3. Find the Faculty Grading (Non-Law) tile, and click "Faculty Early Alert".
    • If you do not see that tile, click the menu icon in the top left, choose Discover, and type into the search. You may then add it to your home view.
  4. The current term will show, e.g., "Fall 2024".
  5. Select the section the student is enrolled in.*
  6. Select the student.*
  7. Follow the prompts to provide information about the situation.
    • Note that there is the option to notify the student that you’ve submitted an early alert. Use your discretion when considering this option.
  8. Once you have completed the form, click submit.
  9. After submitting an Early Alert, you will receive a confirmation email that the Early Alert was received.

* You may see a “Please Wait” notification at these steps. Once the notification goes away, you may select the option.

What happens next?

The recipient of the Early Alert will contact the student to address the reported issue(s) and collaborate with the student on devising an action plan to resolve the matter. The student will be encouraged to share a summary of the action plan with you; you will receive follow-up from the recipient of the Alert as well.
