Behaviors of Concern
Student of Concern/BCAT Team
Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) has established the Behavioral Consultation and
Assessment Team (BCAT) an interdisciplinary team to help identify students in distress
and/or who may pose a potential threat to campus. FGCU recognizes that students in
mental, physical, and/or psychological distress may impact their learning and/or functioning
while attending our institution.
The team has a collaborative process to assess concerning behavior based on those
concerns reported to the team. Depending on the situation, additional personnel with
specific areas of specialization or responsibility may be called upon to assist the
team. This team will discuss support and safety interventions, which will provide
the student with the greatest chance of success and our community the greatest level
of protection.

Threat Assessment & Management Team
FGCU cultivates a secure community within a supportive and accessible living, learning
and working environment. It is standard practice on university campuses to promote
safety through a Threat Assessment & Management Team (TAMT) empowered to investigate,
assess and manage risks of violence by any troubled community member. The TAMT performs
these responsibilities in cooperation with other university personnel, committees
and departments.
