We Are Here to Help Students
Ohio State ATI is a caring campus community committed to supporting the well-being and success of all students. The CARE Team coordinates campus and university resources to assist students facing personal challenges, helping them stay on track academically and personally. We supports students facing personal, emotional, or academic challenges and connect them with resources to help them stay on track.
What We Do
The CARE Team provides a coordinated system of support by:
- Responding to reports of students in distress or experiencing personal challenges.
- Collaborating with academic departments, Student Life units, and other university offices.
- Maintaining student rights and preserving the campus learning, living, and working environment.
- Offering outreach and resources to every student of concern reported to the team.
When to Refer a Student
You are encouraged to refer a student who may be experiencing:
- Unexpected life events
- Personal challenges
- Mental health struggles
- Academic difficulties interfering with college success
Anyone can submit a referral using our online referral form.
Confidentiality and Follow-Up
- Your referral is confidential. We will inform the student that a concern has been raised but will not disclose your identity unless necessary.
- You will receive confirmation that your report was received.
- You will not receive additional updates unless there is a FERPA-defined need to know.
Limitations of the CARE Team
While we promote and encourage the use of resources, we cannot guarantee that students will act on referrals. Our role is to connect students with support and guide them toward success.
Safety and Compliance
- The CARE Team reviews reports with a safety lens and collaborates with the OSU Consultation and Assessment Team (CAT) when necessary.
- Reports involving harassment, discrimination, sexual misconduct, accessibility, or protection of minors are forwarded to the Civil Rights Compliance Office (CRCO). You may also file a report directly using the CRCO online form. If anonymity is necessary, use the CRCO online form, which allows secure, private communication.
