The Office of Student Services will assist in notification of law enforcement authorities if requested to do so by the student. In addition to addressing sexual assault through the criminal justice system, cases involving sexual misconduct will be assigned to the Dean of Students or the Vice President of Student Services. Individuals found guilty of sexual misconduct can face a number of sanctions, up to and including dismissal. Both accuser and accused shall be informed of the outcome of any disciplinary hearing involving alleged sexual misconduct. The Health and Wellness Centre can provide individual and group counseling services for those victimized by sexual or physical assault.
Services are available to all university students, staff and faculty.
Although we believe our low incidence of crime will continue, this report is not intended to give a false sense of security. Students need to remember that while a crime can occur at any time, prevention efforts can be effective in reducing the opportunities for criminal activity. Students play key roles in our crime prevention efforts. Students should be protective of their possessions and cautious, careful and alert to their own safety.
