The OU-Tulsa Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) is a non-punitive interdisciplinary team aiming to provide preventive care and early intervention for an individual (student, faculty, or staff) whose behavior is disruptive or concerning (e.g. change in hygiene, emotional outbursts, etc.). All students and employees should consider it their responsibility to report concerning behaviors to the OU-Tulsa Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) for the safety and well-being of the OU-Tulsa campus community. Reports can be submitted anonymously.
If a person is an immediate threat to themselves or someone else, or is incapable of caring for themselves, and they are presently on campus, call (918) 660-3333.
At the University of Oklahoma, our commitmenet to cultivating a place of belonging for all strikes at the heart of everything we stand for as a community. Upholding this core value includes our promise to foster an environment of integrity, respect, and the highest ethical standards. Each member of the OU community shares the responsibility of ensuring these values are firmly upheld and concerns are promptly addressed. To that end, the University has partnered with EthicsPoint, an independent third-party, to provide a simple and anonymous way for employees and students to report concerns or possible misconduct.
Students and employees can submit a report anonymously.

The university ombudsperson functions independently of all campus offices to ensure OU community members have an impartial, confidential space to express concerns, seek guidance, and constructively resolve conflicts. The Ombuds offers a safe, confidential place to talk about campus-related conflicts, disputes, and concerns. The Ombuds is neither an advocate for visitors nor represents University management. Rather, the Ombuds is an advocate for respectful dialogue, fair practices, and mutual understanding. The University of Oklahoma created the Ombuds Office with the understanding that information shared with the ombudsperson is held strictly confidential.
While the OU Ombudsperson is physically located on the Norman campus, they serve students, faculty, and staff on all OU campuses.
Counseling Services are available through campus and in the local and national community as well.
