Students with Suicidal or Personal Safety Issues

Revised:  December 03, 2012

Counseling Center services are limited, as only full-time day students are eligible. If the student is not a full-time day student (e.g. Online Degree, Off-track, Concurrent, or Continuing Education), please encourage them to search for local resources or contact their ecclesiastical leader.  If a student displays suicidal thoughts or attempt, or has a personal safety issue, notify the Online Support Center (OSC) at onlinelearning@byui.edu, 1-866-672-2984, or (208) 496-1800. Please provide as much information as you can so that the OSC can correctly handle this concern.  Further, dire emergencies can be referred to: (208) 496-9370 or outside M-F 8-5:00, MT: (208) 496-HELP.


For OSC:
All students that display suicidal thoughts or attempt, or have personal safety issues should be directed to the following resources:
  • For an emergency have the Instructor call 911, or (208) 496-9370 or outside M-F 8-5:00, MT: (208) 496-HELP. In addition the Dean of Students should be contacted at (208)496-9200 or at dos@byui.edu.
  • If it isn't an emergency, you should contact the Dean of Students at (208) 496-9200 or email at dos@byui.edu.
