Behavior Intervention Team (BIT)

The Behavior Intervention Team (BIT) is an interdisciplinary alliance that flags and reviews students deemed to be at risk to themselves or others, socially, mentally, and/ or physically. The primary role of the team is to make recommendations for intervention or action for the referred student. The team members are the Chair of the Team / Dean of Students, Campus Police, Counseling Coordinator, Faculty, Counselor/Advisor, Academic Deans, and Athletics.

Any member of the campus community can refer a student to the BIT team by completing a referral form available from the Dean of Students’ Office. Once a completed referral is received, the team reviews the referral and determines if the referral is warranted. If so, the appropriate team member will contact the student for an in-person meeting to discuss the concern. If warranted, the student will receive recommendations for intervention.

In an incident in which immediate action is required, you should contact ICC Campus Police.
