When professional help is needed
It is possible that this may not be a one-off incident with that particular student. That’s why it is important to have some record of dealing with an aggressive student. By reporting the incident to Campus Care, a profile can then be established.
A student who has anger management problems can be helped. But this is not likely to be your role. If the student returns later to apologise to you, you may want at that time to suggest that they make an appointment with Counselling and Psychological Services.
