Referrals to other services If at any point the student’s usual contact point at the International Office is not available or feels that the situation warrants the intervention of others, the student may be referred to a colleague, to a person of higher authority or other professional service, unit or entity that can assist in the circumstances. [...] Students will be verbally informed at the very first encounter with the International and EU office about the limits of confidentiality and that confidentiality cannot be maintained in cases where there is a risk of the student harming oneself or others. [...] The telephone call will be made either in front of the student, or if the student is absent, the student will be informed of the referral. [...] Once the referral has been made, however, attendance for counselling on the part of the student is not mandatory and failure to attend will not jeopardise the student’s registration at the University. [...] Should the situation escalate, a consultative ad hoc committee constituted of the Rector’s Delegate for International Student Welfare as Chair, the Director of the International Office, Representatives from the Faculty and/or other stakeholders relevant to the case, will be called up and will decide whether a report to the Home University should be prepared.
