Confidential Report

Even if you are not sure if you want to file a criminal or College report, consider making a confidential report. Talking with someone can aid in your recovery.  The following confidential advisors are available to assist you and will not further disclose the information you provide, unless otherwise required to do so by law (e.g., if the victim is a minor):

Anonymous Report

If you have an emergency, please call 911.

The College encourages victims of sexual harassment, sexual assault/misconduct, dating/domestic violence, and stalking to talk to someone to ensure their health and well being.  

Though anonymous reports will be accepted by the College, it is often difficult to gather facts and conduct a thorough investigation following an anonymous report.
