Students of Concern Assistance Team (SOCAT)

The Students of Concern Assistance Team (SOCAT) is here to work with students who may be troubled or whose behavior is of concern to others.SOCAT offers supportive intervention and guidance to any USFSP student who is struggling.

SOCAT is a multi-disciplinary campus committee and includes representatives from the following offices: Academic Affairs, Center for Counseling, Health and Wellness, Student Rights and Responsibilities, and University Police Services. The team is chaired by the Director of Student Services. Representatives of other USFSP offices may be consulted as needed.

SOCAT was started as way to identify and provide support to a student before more significant problems arise. Members of SOCAT are committed to reaching out to students to offer assistance, to help coordinate referrals to campus and community resources, and to develop an Action Plan for student success. The goal is to help the student focus on academic success, avert more serious difficulties, and ensure the safety of both the student and USFSP community.
