Reporting and Resources for Hazing
Campus Resources
The Center for Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) provides free and confidential resources to assist and support students with managing their mental health and wellness. This includes initial consultation and screening; short-term individual, relationship, and group counseling; consultation about mental health concerns; crisis intervention and response; and referrals to other on- and off-campus services.
The Ithaca College Awareness, Response, and Education (ICare) team is a collaborative work group charged with evaluating and providing timely responses to reported student behaviors of concern, including marked changes in mood and functioning, increasing isolation and disconnection, expressions of hopelessness, thoughts of self-harm, or aggression toward themselves or others.
Student Accessibility Services (SAS) works with students to provide access to learning and living environments at Ithaca College through the creation of accommodation plans and by promoting accessibility initiatives across campus.
The Offices of Residential Life and Student Conduct & Community Standards function as one department, supporting the needs of both residential and off-campus students at Ithaca College. The department oversees all processes and services related to residential education, student housing, residence hall facility operations, and student conduct.
