Student Support Team

What is the SST?

The Student Support Team (SST) is a multi-disciplinary group whose purpose is to meet regularly to support students and the campus community via an established protocol. The team tracks referrals and collects data from a variety of sources at a single site so a pattern of distress exhibited by a student, or a student's behavior, becomes apparent.

What are the goals of SST?

• Provide a structured, positive method to address a student's distress which may be limiting their success in the classroom or engagement with campus departments or programs
• Provide a structured, positive method to address a student's behavior (if applicable), which may negatively impact either the student or the college community
• Manage each case individually, while addressing mental and physical health, academic concerns, and/or safety concerns
• Initiate appropriate and supportive intervention measures
• Eliminate fragmented interventions
