Concerned About A Student 

Concerns of Wellbeing

Some students thrive in the new and exciting environment of higher education. Unfortunately, sometimes this great environment of growth can be overwhelming to students. Anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and other stressors can all put an emotional burden on students. If you have a concern regarding a student, share that concern and let us help. Please send an email to erbbi@uvu.edu, and list the subject as "Concerned About A Student". Please be aware this email is NOT monitored 24/7.

Alternatively, an online report of a variety of behavioral concerns can be submitted to the office of Student Rights & Accountability. These online reports can be submitted at any time, and are monitored during business hours.
