The mission of the NRCC Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) is to provide a systematic and professional
response to instances where students’ behavior is disruptive or counterproductive for self, fellow
students, or the college community. The BIT is tasked with reviewing, collaborating, and addressing
reports from students, faculty, and staff, and intervene where appropriate. Working with the NRCC Threat
Assessment Team (TAT), any BIT member can “escalate” an issue from behavioral intervention to threat.
Interventions may include advising or referral with the goal of restoring the student to productive
academic status. The BIT is non-punitive in nature and not a disciplinary body. Any official sanctions
imposed by the college will be issued by the Threat Assessment Team when behavioral inventions fail and
a danger to the individual, his/her fellow students, or other members of the campus community is
present.
