UNTHSC cares about our students’ success, not only academically, but emotionally and physically. Because of our commitment, we provide caring and confidential services across campus that respond to our students’ unique needs.
The mission of the Care Team is to:

– Contribute to healthier communities by assisting in protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the students and members of the UNTHSC community.
– Foster student success.
– Provide a comprehensive response to students whose behavior is disruptive to themselves or the educational environment, or may be in violation of the Student Code of Conduct & Discipline.

The Care Team often collaborates with other offices within the campus community. Other offices with similar purposes include the Office of Student Affairs, Center for Academic Performance, and the UNTHSC Police Department.

The Center for Academic Performance (CAP) is committed to helping all UNTHSC students meet their personal and academic goals by providing comprehensive academic programs. We offer services designed to enhance all levels of academic performance through academic consultations, learning assessments, and self-management.
Services include:
– Academic Counseling
– Learning and Study Strategy Assessments
– Writing Support
– Tutoring
– Workshops on: Time Management, Test Taking, Paper Formatting, and Strengths Based Learning

The UNT Health Science Center cares about our students’ emotional and physical wellbeing and strives to provide all students with a campus environment that is conducive to academic endeavors and social and individual growth.
In an effort to increase opportunities to identify students of concern, a new form has been created that will capture Care Team referrals, violations of the Student Code of Conduct & Discipline, and Sexual Assault/Sexual Misconduct (Title IX) reports within one central online form. The Student of Concern Reporting Form can be found at: http://unthsc.edu/studentofconcern.
Individuals referring students of concern can select the nature of their report and identify and provide context for the nature of their concern. By utilizing one central referral method, opportunities are created to gather complete and thorough information in an effort to support students in a holistic manner.
Thank you for playing a part in keeping our students safe and contributing to solutions for a healthier community!
