Important Reminder: Online Reporting Strongly Preferred

Title IX Reporting - Online Submissions PREFERRED:

The Title IX Office prefers the submission of Title IX report through the online reporting system. It is preferred that all Title IX reports be submitted through our secure online form. This centralized process helps us review reports promptly, triage concerns efficiently, and ensure consistent and equitable responses for our campus community.

In‑person, email, and phone submissions are accepted on a limited basis as reporting methods for Title IX incidents. Those conversations may still occur for support purposes, but they do not constitute an official Title IX report.

Submit an Online Title IX Report

Please note: Due to staff availability, it may take up to five business days for your report to be reviewed.
