Andrew College wants to maintain a healthy and safe environment for all students, faculty and staff. You can help us do that by working with the CARE Team. The CARE Team meets to review and respond to reports of student behavior that may pose a threat of self-harm or to others. The purpose of the CARE Team is to proactively identify, intervene and respond to student behaviors that cause others concern and/or fear that the student poses a danger to self, others or the college community.This includes disruptive classroom behavior, unusual behavior on a sports team, or general concern. Our goal is for you to be safe and successful. This plan was developed to help if you or someone you know is having a difficult time.
