Faculty concerned about a student and not sure where to turn may also contact or refer undergraduate students directly to their school's academic advising office. These offices can help students having academic or personal difficulties and connect them with additional support.
If you are with a student in crisis or immediate danger, you can call Public Safety's HELP Line, designed to provide rapid support around wellness, at 215-898-4357 or consult with this flowchart on helping students in need.
For graduate students, contact the graduate dean or student affairs office for their school. This page from University Life can help you find the right office.
Instructors can use this function in Courses@Penn (among the tools in the Manage My Courses section) to send a notice to a student having difficulty in their class. These notices also go to the appropriate advising office so advisors are aware if a student is having trouble across courses and needs support.
