Student Services
Triton College's concept of personal growth is premised on current student development theory and the assumption that responsible students desire to become more complete persons emotionally, intellectually and physically. The Office of Student Services offers an array of student support services that aid in assisting students in their pursuit of social, cultural and professional development.
Dean of Students
The Dean of Students oversees Counseling & Wellness Support Services, Student Life and Title IX. In addition, the Dean’s office oversees the Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) and handles matters related to student conduct.
Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT)
Triton College is committed to providing a supportive, safe, and welcoming college environment. The Behavior Intervention Team (BIT) is the primary resource for proactively addressing student behavioral concerns that may result in risk of harm to self or others, or behaviors that significantly disrupt the learning environment. The Dean of Student Services, serves as chair of the Behavioral Intervention Team.
How to File a Complaint
The College offers a variety of avenues for formal complaint procedures, depending
on the nature of your concern or complaint.
If you have an immediate concern for safety, contact the Triton College Police Department
at (708) 456-6911
If you are concerned regarding a community member’s behavior, you can report a concern
online and it will be routed to the appropriate college staff for review. This is
where you can also report concerns about other students, including disruptive behavior
or violations of College rules. Examples of the kinds of things you should report
to the College including:
- Others' behavior that hinders you from going to class or studying
- Theft or vandalism
- Harassment, stalking, fighting
- Alcohol or drug use
- Weapons or threats
Even if you are not sure whether or not you should report something, you are encouraged
to err on the side of caution. The College has trained professional staff who can
evaluate these reports and take appropriate action.
If you have been a victim of sexual or gender-based misconduct by any person, please
review the College's Harassment, Discrimination, and Sexual Misconduct (Title IX) information, where you can also file a report about sexual harassment/misconduct. Our first concern
is for your safety and well-being, but we also encourage you to file a formal complaint
with the campus and/or police depending on what outcomes you are seeking.
If the complaint pertains to a faculty or staff member's decision, you can follow
the Student Complaint Process (if it pertains to an academic issue) outlined on page
60 of the Student Handbook.
Be advised that this process require that you first have a conversation with the faculty
or staff member with whom you have a concern in a timely manner. If you are not satisfied
with the response you receive, you can provide your written complaint and the resolution
that you seek to the Chair, Coordinator, or Director of the department. You may also
request a meeting with that individual. If you are not satisfied with that response,
you can continue the complaint process in writing to the Dean for that area.
If you have exhausted the campus complaint options and you still have a complaint,
you can file a complaint with the Illinois Board of Higher Education.
