Miami treats acquaintance rape as seriously as stranger rape. The vast majority of sexual assaults involve people who know each other. In some cases, victim and assailant even live in the same residence hall or attend the same class. Either person can make a request for a change in on-campus living arrangements. The University will make every effort to accommodate such requests.
Students can also request to move to another section of a class.
Again, when possible, the University will accommodate the requests. In addition, if you believe your personal circumstance may significantly interfere with your class work, you may request that a letter be written to your professors. Such notification does not excuse you from your academic responsibilities but asks for understanding and consideration. If you believe a letter would be appropriate, please contact the Senior Administrative Director for Health Services at 529-3051.
