Have you experienced a sexual misconduct or gender-based incident?

Our first concern is to provide immediate support to ensure your safety and well-being.

Follow these steps if you believe you may have been involved in a sexual misconduct or gender-based incident:

• Call 911 in the case of emergency.
• Report the incident using the Make a Report Form
• Review Support and Reporting Options Flowchart
• Review Sexual Assault Awareness and/or What is Consent

When making a report please be aware of confidentiality:

College employees, except those statutorily barred from doing so, have a duty to immediately report possible Title IX violations to the Title IX Coordinator. See Mandatory Reporting.

If you have confidentiality concerns, ask the Title IX Coordinator if you can speak with someone who can maintain confidentiality. If you would like to consult with someone outside the campus who can maintain confidentiality, contact the Emergency Support Shelter (ESS), 24 hours at day, at (360) 425-1176
