Typically, even the utmost time and energy given to these students is not enough. They often seek to control your time and unconsciously believe the amount of time received is a reflection of their worth. You may find yourself increasingly drained and feeling responsible for this student in a way that is beyond your normal involvement. This student generally benefits from additional connections to on-campus supports.
| Do's | Don'ts |
|---|---|
| Let the student make their own decisions. | Get trapped into giving advice, special conditions, etc. |
| Set firm and clear limits on your time and involvement. | Avoid the student as an alternative to setting and enforcing limits. |
| Submit a STARs referral if you believe that additional outreach would be beneficial. | Ignore your limitations. |
