1. Student Org Leadership Training
We Are ALL CCN
Student Org Leadership Training
- Bonnie, Jennie, & Leslie -
*Begin with Individual Introductions*
While the Cougar Care Network was initially conceptualized as an early warning or early alert initiative, we have started to refer to it as an early support initiative, especially when discussing the initiative with students.  
In addition to students seeking support on their own through SOAR, faculty and staff are able to refer students who demonstrate early warning signs of academic concerns and behavioral concerns.  
All referrals are sent to the Student Outreach and Referral (SOAR) Coordinator in the Dean of Students Office, who then connects students to a specific member of the Cougar Care Network.  
Depending on the area of concern, most referrals are addressed by the CARE Manager in the Dean of Students Office, Personalized Academic Success Services (PASS), Housing and Residential Education, Financial Aid and Scholarships, Student Conduct, Title IX, and the University Police Department. 
Elaborate on PASS services, which shows that the Cougar Care Network involves both academic and behavioral support 
As was mentioned, all cases are carefully tracked in the Maxient Database to assist with the flow of communication between members of the Cougar Care Network.  

2. Presentation Outcomes​
Ensure you are aware of the resources available to you from the Dean of Students Office​
Help you understand your role as Student Org leaders in maintaining a physically and psychologically safe environment for your members both on and off campus

3. The Big Picture
As Student Org leaders, the following should always (and need to) be considered when making decisions for your organizations:
Personal Values
Membership Values/Constitution
Student Life and Leadership policies
CSUSM policies
CSU Executive Orders
State and Federal Laws

4. Student Conduct Things to consider:
Individual (Student ) conduct process is different than the group/organization conduct process
The CSU Standards for Student Conduct are applicable for off-campus behavior (includes online behavior & academics)
Students must be in “Good Standing” to hold Student Org leadership positions. This WILL impact a student’s eligibility
Violating the CSU policies may impact your student status – current and future

5. Student Conduct Common Types of Cases: Academic Honesty (1A) Drugs (9)
Alcohol (10)
Failure to Comply (17)
Violation of federal, state or local laws (18)
Encouraging, permitting or assisting another in violating policy (20)
*Numbers associated with the policies correspond to the policy # in the code of conduct
These are the most common types of violations of University policies.
Academic Honesty includes: Cheating, plagiarism and facilitating academic dishonesty. Always clarify expectations with your professor if you are unclear. They do not want to refer you, but they will if you violate the Academic Honesty policy. You deserve a fair and equitable academic environment.
Alcohol includes: State of California Laws:
Use, possession or consumption of alcohol under the age of 21
Having a fake ID to purchase or consume alcohol
Providing alcohol to others under the age of 21
Driving under the influence of alcohol
Having an open container/consuming alcohol in public
Drugs include:
Marijuana:
In the State of California, you may fall into the category of having a medical marijuana card. That does not mean you can bring marijuana or paraphernalia onto campus, into Housing, or at a University-sponsored event.
If you do not possess a medical marijuana card, you cannot consume marijuana at any time; even off-campus. Our policies do not end at the boundaries of campus. They apply as long as you are a student here.
Other Drugs: Any other illegal drugs, including prescription drugs not prescribed to you.
Failure to Comply: Not following directives given by University officials. This can include Resident Advisor’s, Resident Director’s, UPD, Faculty or Staff.
Encouraging/Permitting Others: Some examples could include: Hosting a party, providing alcohol or drugs to others, letting others borrow a paper or cheat off of your test or posting academic content online for others to use.

6. Social Host Ordinance Anyone hosting a party is required to:
Verify the age of guests
Control access to those under 21
Control the quantity of alcohol/marijuana consumed at the gathering
Supervise minors
Anyone allowing minors (under 21) to drink alcohol will be held accountable and may be:
Cited/arrested
Fined up to $1,000
Sentenced to 6 months in jail
Billed for police and/or other emergency responding services
Think twice before hosting a gathering at your home; it’s YOUR responsibility!

7. Alcohol Policy Are you planning/hoping to have alcohol at your event?
Things to consider:
Ask key questions
Review Executive Order 966
Work closely with Student Life and Leadership to ensure compliance

8. Student Conduct Sanctions Can Include: Disciplinary Probation
Disciplinary Probation w/ conditions
Suspension (from the CSU)
Suspension w/conditions (from CSU)
Expulsion (from the CSU)
Probation means a test or trial period to ensure students do not repeatedly violate University policies and learn by going through the Student Conduct process. You can still proceed as a student while on Probation, but it may limit your eligibility to student leadership positions.
Conditions could mean: Educational sanctions such as papers, attending a program, writing an apology letter, restriction from Housing, etc.
Suspension and Expulsion: Apply to all 23 CSU Campuses, not just Cal State San Marcos
Suspension is temporary while Expulsion is permanent!

9. Title IX
Additional Resources available to students in the event of a case involving Discrimination, Harassment or Retaliation (including Sex Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, Sexual Violence, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking):
Student Health and Counseling Services (confidential)
Sexual Violence Advocate & Educator (confidential)
University Police Department (Annual Clery Security Report)
Faculty/Staff
Dean of Students Office

and how to file a formal complaint.

Social stigma, shame
Insufficient information on how to access
Self-identity
Inconvenient hours

14. Making a Referral Website: http://www.csusm.edu/ccn
Online Reporting Form
Students can be referred who begin to exhibit the following concerns: • Personal (e.g. family crisis, mental health, death in the family, significant life changes, financial concerns, etc.) • Academics (e.g. attendance, poor performance on assignments, at risk of failing course, etc.) • Behavioral (e.g. disruptive behavior, conduct, etc.) When completing this form, include your name, title, and contact information in case follow-up needs to occur.
- LESLIE -
For Faculty and Staff to make an online referral, they can view the Cougar Care Network website to fill out the Cougar Care Network Reporting Form.  
Easy to use, important to have boxes and drop-down menus as much as possible.  
Recently, Maxient made their referral forms more mobile friendly, which helps with accessibility, especially for part-time Faculty members.  
*** Open Reporting Form to demonstrate ease of use for Faculty/Staff. *** 
 Mention that as O-Teamers, they will be reporting issues to staff members, and staff will complete the CCN form. The more detailed you can be as the initial responder, the better.

15. Making a Referral
Inform student(s) that the referral is being made (no surprises)
Share with them the purpose of CCN (linking students to support and resources)
Permission is not required or necessary to refer a student
Don't feel comfortable telling the student about the referral? 
Call or come by the Dean of Students Office to discuss further.

Review the tips for O-Teamers on what to tell/share with students.
