Behavioral Intervention Team
Per KCTCS Policy, and as explained in the KCTCS Behavioral Intervention Team Procedure statement, each KCTCS college will maintain a Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) to provide thoughtful, caring, preventive early intervention for students whose behavior is of concern. Particularly, the BIT will work to promote student academic success and safety through appropriate and timely response.
The Behavioral Intervention Team is designed to assist faculty, staff, and administration with students facing high levels of distress in their lives and those with behavior problems. The Behavioral Intervention Team is not an administrative, treatment or disciplinary body. It does not adjudicate, discipline, or impose sanctions against any member of the campus.
The BIT will develop specific strategies for assessing and addressing potentially harmful or disruptive behavior while considering the safety and rights of others and minimizing disruption to the college community.

Students are encouraged to ask questions and visit the Ombudsman's office when they have an issue with college policy or procedures.
