Faculty and staff can issue a referral at any point throughout the year. The purpose of a referral is to raise awareness about a particular student. Issuing a referral can draw attention to the student, create a virtual referral, and prompt action from a specific person/department. Referrals are NOT designed for immediate crisis intervention. An immediate crisis should be reported to university police or law enforcement (911). Additionally, Red Folder resources are available for faculty/staff who are responding to students in distress.
