If a sex offense has occurred, whether on campus or off campus, students are encouraged to report the incident to the Dean of Student Life.  A complete copy of the university sexual misconduct policy can be found in the Student Handbook. The university can provide assistance in contacting local authorities, campus safety and/or counselors. Due to the nature of the offense and evidence needed for criminal prosecution, it is important that students seek immediate assistance.

The university will provide assistance, after an alleged sexual offense, for students who would like to change a residential life assignment or an academic situation when feasible.

In the event that on-campus disciplinary action is required, both the accused and the accuser will be accorded student rights as outlined in the sexual misconduct policy in the student handbook. Both individuals have the right to have an advocate present during the hearing and have access to information directly related to their case.
