Addressing Behaviors of Concern
FGCU recognizes that emotional, physical, and/or psychological distress may impact
the learning and functioning of students attending our institution. The Behavioral Consultation and Assessment Team (BCAT) is an interdisciplinary team of university professionals which identifies students
in distress and/or who may pose a potential threat to themselves or others on campus.
BCAT collaborates to address student behavior based on concerns reported to the team.
Depending on the situation, additional personnel with specific areas of specialization
or responsibility may assist. The team discusses support and safety interventions
which provide the student with the greatest chance of success and the community the
greatest level of protection.

Threat Assessment & Management Team
FGCU cultivates a secure community within a supportive and accessible living, learning
and working environment. It is standard practice on university campuses to promote
safety through a Threat Assessment & Management Team (TAM) empowered to investigate,
assess and manage risks of violence by any troubled community member. The TAM team
performs these responsibilities in cooperation with other university personnel, committees
and departments.
Report a Concern to TAM
