Dear Campus Community, 

As part of our culture of care and support, the University of Denver is committed to providing care and access to resources to create a safe and secure environment for our campus community to maintain our safety, health, and well-being. The CARE team is comprised of staff and administrators across campus who are dedicated to crisis support and behavioral intervention in the best interest of the individual student and the campus community. The CARE team takes a proactive, objective, supportive, and collaborative approach to the prevention, identification, assessment, intervention, management of, and coordinated response to situations and behaviors that may be disruptive or pose a risk of harm.  As we care for both the individual student and the campus community, the following policies outline the ways in which the CARE team intervene, identify behavioral expectations and other support strategies to help the student remain in good standing with the University. While the CARE team leads this effort of behavioral intervention, every member of the community has a shared responsibility and shared ownership in the culture of care and support.  
In gratitude of our partnership, 

The CARE Team

Threat Assessment

This assessment may be either or both of the following: 

The Office of Student Rights & Responsibilities oversees adherence to and has authority for resolving violations of the University of Denver Honor Code. Should a student be unwilling to cooperate with University administrators in addressing patterns and/or instances of concerning behavior, the University may move forward with reporting the concerning behavior and/or noncompliance to the Office of Student Rights & Responsibilities.
