Purpose of CARE • To identify students in distress before they reach the point of crisis. • To better understand the challenges a student may be facing in more than one aspect of his/her life. • To triage this student to appropriate resources and make sure the student is connected to someone who can help. • To increase communication between offices and better understand the student’s needs.
Number of CARE Reports Submitted by Academic Year 118% increase since 2010-2011
Ideal CARE Workflow • Student of concern identified. • Someone (UR faculty, staff, students, parent, community member, or the student him/herself) submits a CARE report. • Erin reviews the report • Determines level of severity (birds eye view). • Reaches out to individuals who may know more about this particular student. • Keeps a running record of the student of concern. • Individuals report information back to Erin so she can continue to assess the student’s level of severity and enact supports as necessary. • Attempts to reach the student continues or case closes.
Premajor advisers • Students care about their academics and course registration so they typically want to stay in touch with you. • Usually students have a relationship with their premajor adviser. • You may be one of the first to know when a student is struggling academically, socially, financially, etc. • The student may talk to you about something that seems suitable for CARE (both personally or for a friend). • You may be asked to reach out to the student to check in. • Students may already know about the CARE system, but may not know what other resources are available to them.
We “CARE” Financial Aid Your information matters. If UR faculty, staff, students, and parents are communicating their concerns to the Assistant Director for Student Support Services, we can better identify students in, or heading toward, distress.
