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.

  1. 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.
  2. What happened was not your fault. Something happened to you that you didn’t want to happen—and that’s not OK.
  3. 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 Update: Online Reporting Transition

Beginning Oct. 27, 2025:

The Title IX Office will move to an online-only reporting system. This change reflects a growing trend among Title IX offices nationwide and is designed to help us better serve our campus community.

Our goal is to ensure that Title IX reports are reviewed promptly and thoroughly. In-person and phone submissions, while often well-intentioned, can sometimes involve complex concerns that fall outside the scope of Title IX. These conversations, though important, can require significant time and follow-up, which may delay our ability to respond to Title IX matters with the urgency they deserve.

By centralizing reports through our secure online system, we can more efficiently triage concerns, prioritize Title IX cases, and maintain a consistent and equitable response process for all students, faculty, and staff.

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.

If you are in crisis, please call 911 or contact the Marshall University Counseling Center for immediate support:
Prichard Hall, First Floor
304-696-3111

We appreciate your understanding and remain committed to supporting a safe, respectful, and inclusive campus environment.
