Student Conduct Office
Student Conduct Offices have many names across institutions. Faculty and staff looking for more information about their institution’s office may search using key words such as, “Rights and Responsibilities”, “Student Conduct”, or “Accountability” to find out more about their policies and student conduct colleagues. Student Conduct professionals review allegations of conduct policy violations, meet with students, make decisions based on the policy, and resolve non-academic misconduct matters.
Behavioural Intervention Teams
A behavioral intervention team, or BIT, is typically an interdepartmental team that reviews reports of concerning or worrisome student behaviour, ranging from early warning signs and disruptive behaviour to more serious instances that may present a risk to the individual or broader campus community. These teams assess the nature and context of these behaviours, evaluate risk, and coordinate interventions and supports to help students navigate challenges and remain connected to their academic and personal goals.
While team names vary across institutions (e.g., Assessment and Care Teams, Care Teams, or Student Support and Intervention Teams), the goal is the same: to identify, assess, and respond to students in need of support, regardless of where their behaviour falls on the spectrum from concern to crisis.
