Support Our Students (SOS)

SOS is CDU’s referral process for student support and success.

Campus community members, as well as members of a student’s support system, are encouraged to submit an SOS referral if they suspect a student is experiencing academic, mental, emotional, or financial distress that require comprehensive and holistic attention.

Some common behaviors that warrant a SOS referral may include but are not limited to:

• Poor academic performance or progress
• A traumatic event
• Financial issues
• Family concerns or issues
• Chronic/frequent absenteeism
• No response to emails, phone calls, or texts

SOS Process

SOS referrals are received and reviewed by the SOS team within two business days before determining a plan of action for the referral. The assigned case manager will contact the student within three business days of the team review. All referrals are documented in the SOS database.

Members of the SOS team include the Director of Student Life, Director of Student Health and Wellness (SHAW) Case Manager/Counselor (SHAW), Academic Success Coach, and AS, Student Affairs Committee President
