SUICIDE THREAT/ATTEMPT- In the event that the University has reasonable cause to believe that a student attemptedor will attempt suicide or has engaged in efforts to prepare to commit suicide, theCollege will generally require the student to undergo a mandatory assessment at his orher own expense by an outside licensed mental health professional.- Such assessment may include but is not limited to a psychological evaluation at a localhospital and/or emergency room to ensure the safety of the student and the largercommunity. The assessment should take place immediately and the student should signa release of information allowing the mental health professional to communicate withcampus staff information related to the student’s safety and well-being.- The purpose of the mandated assessment is to gather information andrecommendations about the student’s condition, his or her need for psychiatrichospitalization and to provide the student with appropriate psychological and psychiatricreferrals. The College will ask the mental health professional to share information aboutwhat steps the Campus might take to protect the safety of the student and the campuscommunity at large.- Students with psychological impairments which affect the student's ability to function inthe campus community (academically, socially or otherwise) may be presented with theoption or requirement for a medical withdrawal or a medical leave of absence.- Students who have to be hospitalized due to a suicide attempt and/or suicidal ideationwill be placed on an administrative leave of absence which will remain in effect until thestudent provides appropriate documentation from a licensed mental healthcare providerstating that the student can safely return to college and is not believed by the healthcareprovider to present a threat to harm himself/herself or others. Students will remain on anadministrative leave of absence no more than 45 days. Within that 45-day period, theSCC or appropriate administrative unit will render a decision as to the student’s futurewith Argosy University- Notwithstanding, the Campus at its discretion may set restrictions and/or conditions forthe student to return to Campus including receiving outside counseling and/or signing asafety contract.- Argosy University cannot provide the long-term psychological treatment that isnecessary for students experiencing suicidal distress. Because of the serious nature ofattempted suicide and/or suicidal ideation, the student’s parents or other supportperson(s) may be contacted by the College and informed of the student's condition. TheFamily Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) permits campus officials to contactparents without the student’s consent, "if knowledge of the information is necessary toprotect the health and safety of the student or other individuals."
