Campus Public Safety will address sexual assault differently, depending on the situation, whether it has happened to you, a friend or colleague, or if a student reports they are a level III sex offender.
If you are a victim of a sexual assault, either on-campus or off-campus at a college sponsored event, the first priority is to get to safety and get necessary medical treatment. The college encourages all students to report the incident after medical attention is provided; time is a critical factor for evidence collection and preservation. An assault should be directly reported to Campus Public Safety. Local police will be notified.

This report is online, free, and confidential. Visit the Reporting page and help your friend or classmate if they need to report an incident.
