Steps You Can Take After Sexual Assault

It’s hard to know what to do, how to feel, or what your options are after a sexual assault. Please know that you’re not alone. Below are some things to keep in mind. If you are in immediate danger or seriously injured, call 911.

Your safety is important. Are you in a safe place? If you’re not feeling safe, consider reaching out to someone you trust for support. You don’t have to go through this alone.
What happened was not your fault. Something happened to you that you didn’t want to happen—and that’s not OK.
Call the Marshall University Police Department at 304-696-HELP (4357) or 911. They will respond and provide information you may need to go to the appropriate local health facility that can care for survivors of sexual assault and there may be a trained advocate to accompany you.

Important Reminder: Online Reporting Only

Title IX Reporting - Online Submissions Only:

The Title IX Office now uses an online‑only reporting system. All Title IX reports must 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 no longer accepted 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.
