The goal of the Chaffey Connects (formerly known as BIT) is to connect students to various types of support, to include social wellness, campus
safety, basic needs, and well-being resources. If you are aware of a student in distress, please be sure to reach out to us and
submit an Chaffey Connects referral as soon as possible so that we may provide support for them and for you too.
Please know that once you submit an Chaffey Connects referral it is reviewed and addressed in a timely manner by utilizing all the resources available to us and with all parties' safety and best interests in mind.
Chaffey Connects takes every referral seriously and cares deeply about the safety, well-being, and success of our community members. Remember, Chaffey Connects is not an emergency service. If you have an emergency situation, contact campus police, (909) 652-6911.
