Stop sign

If you have a concern for your immediate safety or that of a student, do not hesitate to call the UMass Lowell Police at 978-934-4911.

How do you determine who you should contact?

There are many different resources available on campus, and knowing when to use them is key.

To gauge whether a student is at risk to themselves or others, ask: Have they left you with an uneasy feeling with respect to their safety or the safety of others? Trust your instincts.

If you have any concerns for a student’s safety, always err on the side of caution. Call Campus Police at 978-934-4911 and let them assess the level of urgency.

If you are concerned about a student’s general well-being but are not concerned for their immediate safety, contact the STARS team (Student Assessment, Referral and Support) by submitting a referral via the STARs website. STARS is a collaborative team made up of professionals from multiple campus offices that are responsible for assessing student behavior that has concerned someone at the university.

In addition to contacting STARS, you may suggest to the student other resources that further meet their individual needs. For example, Counseling Services, Disability Services and Health Services can be helpful depending on the situation. Be mindful of the warning signs and direct them to the appropriate resource.
