In the event that filing a police report is not an option, there are many others to choose from to help yourself or a friend in need. You have the right to individual or group counseling for support. No one should have to deal with a sexual assault on their own. Getting support for this traumatic event is very important. You may go to several places on campus or off campus.
All counseling is held in a very supportive and confidential environment.
The Sexual Assault Hearing and Appeals System is an option that students have at their disposal. It is a confidential hearing process that allows for some action to be taken on a University level. It does not take away the necessity of filing a police report, nor is it the same thing. For some, going to the police may not be an option, but they would like some action to be taken at the University level. Please review the definition of sexual assault given earlier .
