Early intervention is essential to supporting students in need. We strongly encourage members of our community to share concerns and make referrals as soon as possible.
An Administrator is On-Call (AOC) 24hrs a day – 7 days a week.
To confer with or report an urgent concern to the AOC, please call Campus Safety at (860) 297-2222. Emergency or urgent situations can be directly related to a student’s life on campus, and/or related to their home/family life.
The AOC can contact the student(s) of concern to check on their well-being and can offer guidance. In some situations, it may be difficult to fully address the situation and take necessary action until the next business day.
Students, staff, faculty, and parents/families should contact Campus Safety for urgent or emergency matters.
Challenges/struggles may include, but are not limited to: homesickness, personal loss, academic concerns, mental health concerns, eating disorder, lack of engagement, or roommate conflict.
Incidents may include, but are not limited to: vandalism, hazing, housing violation, or misconduct carried out by student(s), other community member(s), or visiting guests.

For more information about our policies and expectations, please read the Student Handbook and visit the Community Standards Resolution Process page to learn more about our resolution process.
When completing the forms, please be as thorough, specific and objective as possible.
While anonymous reports are permitted, we strongly encourage individuals to identify themselves when submitting a referral or reporting a concern. Our intervention can be much more effective when the student understands the origination of the report including the name of the person sharing the concern.
Submissions are reviewed by the Office of Student and Community during normal business hours. Once received, we will acknowledge the submission and may contact the reporter for additional information. Depending on the level of concern, submissions may receive a response within three (3) to five (5) business days.
When facing challenges/struggles, students can sometimes find it difficult to ask for help. The Care & Wellness Referral can be used to refer a student in need of guidance or other intervention, to the Office of Student and Community Life.
We encourage students, faculty, or staff who witnessed or experienced incidents which they believe have violated Trinity College policy to complete and submit a Community Concern Report.

Report Concerns To Campus Safety
In our community, we share a responsibility to foster a safe living, learning, and working environment. We encourage all members of our community to report crimes and incidents that violate our college policies.
Reporting Alcohol and or Substance Abuse Incidents
Trinity College values the general welfare of our students. We recognize and acknowledge that their daily decisions impact their success both in and out of the classroom. As a result, we promote a community of care, one in which students are encouraged to be attentive to the wellness, health, and safety of Trinity community members in addition to their own.
In an effort to further promote a community of care, the college encourages bystanders, and when possible, students who are facing a medical or mental health crisis, including a Title IX related incident due to the consumption of alcohol and/or drugs, to take responsible action and seek immediate assistance. In these instances, students are encouraged to seek assistance without fear of disciplinary action as outlined in Trinity’s Drug Use and Alcohol Provision and Use policies. Students can seek assistance from:
Under appropriate circumstances, as described in the amnesty policies below, college sanctions regarding alcohol and drug use may not apply.
Please see the Student Handbook for more information on these policies.
Compliance with Title IX is a community-wide responsibility. We encourage all community members to report Title IX related incidents.
