1. UCARE referral is submitted

Anyone can submit a referral for a Missouri S&T student, including students, faculty, staff, family members and friends. Referrals may be submitted anonymously if preferred.

2. A case manager reviews the referral

A case manager will review the information, gather additional details if needed and determine the most appropriate next steps. For urgent situations, outreach may occur immediately.

3. Student outreach and support

A case manager will contact the student to offer support and invite them to meet. During the meeting, the case manager will discuss the student's concerns, identify barriers to success and connect them with campus and community resources, such as counseling, academic support or financial assistance.

**When appropriate, the person who submitted the referral may receive a general update that outreach has occurred. Student privacy is protected in accordance with applicable laws and university policies.

Submitting a referral can help:

  • Connect students with campus resources.
  • Address concerns early before they impact academic success.
  • Provide coordinated support from trained professionals.
  • Ensure students experiencing significant challenges receive appropriate follow-up.

If you are concerned about a student, submit a UCARE referral. No concern is too small.

Examples of situations that may warrant a referral include:

  • Significant changes in behavior, mood or appearance.
  • Frequent absences or disengagement from class or campus activities.
  • Academic struggles or sudden declines in performance.
  • Personal, financial or family challenges affecting student success.
  • Social isolation or concerning statements from the student.
  • Any situation where you believe a student could benefit from additional support.

After a referral is received, a case manager will review the information and reach out to the student to offer assistance.

Submit a referral online using the UCARE referral form, or contact the UCARE team by phone, email or in person. Referrals may be submitted anonymously or with your contact information if you would like to be available for follow-up.

UCARE is NOT an emergency response resource and should NOT replace calling 911.
