While this page is designed to provide guidance and clarification during the incident report process, it’s most important that you report your concerns through any of the three forms named below. The incidents reported through these forms are reviewed by the Threat Assessment & Behavioral Intervention (TABI) Team and are responded to as appropriate.
- Faculty should raise academic success flags (e.g. attendance or academic performance concerns, tutoring or disability referrals, etc.) through Starfish: The Retention Software beginning fall 2019. Starfish is located in the Bruin Portal.
- A link to the Academic Integrity Incident Report Form is available to faculty only and can be found in the Bruin Portal.
