     <td valign="top"><strong>C.</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When faculty members become aware of behaviors that impair academic or clinical performance (listed in paragraph A), they should document the performance or behaviors in anecdotal notes or the student's clinical evaluation record.  These anecdotal notes may either be stored safely and disposed of when no longer needed to evaluate the student, or given to the designated Dean when a mandatory referral is made.  Information should be shared with other faculty members only if it is necessary either to assist the student to succeed in the course or to protect the safety of the student and others.</td>

<ol style="margin-top:15px;">
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">REMOVE the student from the academic or clinical setting as quietly a possible.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">INFORM the student of the behaviors observed and that he/she will not be allowed to remain on the premises due to these behaviors.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">REFER the student to Student Health (or the appropriate Emergency Department) for appropriate evaluation and testing and inform the physician on duty of the behaviors
exhibited by the student.
</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">DOCUMENT the incident and actions taken.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">REFUSAL TO COMPLY.  If the student who poses an immediate threat to self or others refuses to comply with the college official's requests, appropriate action should be taken to protect the student and others from harm.  Security officers or local police may be called if needed.</li>
