Supportive Measures Available

The following information is the same for both the Title IX Sexual Misconduct process and the Non-Title IX Sexual Misconduct process. Any areas that may be different will be specifically noted.

Victims of sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence or stalking are entitled to rights to ensure they are protected and can begin the process of getting back to life prior to being a victim. A victim may work with the Office for Student Civil Rights & Sexual Misconduct to do so. The university will work with the student and help them through the processes below:

Interim Suspension or Emergency Removal

The university may remove one or more students who are suspected of violating policy from the university prior to a hearing on the issues if there is a potential for risk to one or more members of the university community.

Temporary No Contact Order

The university may impose a temporary "no contact" order restricting contact between individuals during the course of an investigation.

Standing No Contact Order and Geographic Restrictions

The university may impose a permanent "no contact" order, or an order restricting students who are found to have violated university policy from specific buildings or areas of campus.

Security Escorts

The university may discuss options for ensuring travel safety to and from specific locations on- and off-campus.

Temporary Modifications of Living Arrangements

The university can provide a temporary modification of living arrangements, to the extent possible, at any time. The university also reserves the right to adjust the housing assignment of students who are alleged to have violated university policy. The university can also provide emergency on-campus housing to students living off-campus if the situation warrants it.

Permanent Alteration of Living Arrangements

If it is determined that an on-campus housing assignment is affecting academic success, the university will assist in adjusting that situation, to the extent possible. The university also reserves the right to adjust or cancel the housing contract of any student who is found to have violated university policy.

If an off-campus living situation is no longer conducive to academic success as a result of the experience, the university will assist in finding on-campus accommodations, if available.

Temporary Modification of On-Campus Employment

The university can provide temporary reassignment of on-campus employment duties within the university during the course of an investigation. The university may also review the assigned duties of students who are alleged to have violated university policy.

Permanent Adjustment of Student Employment

If an employment assignment is no longer comfortable due to the experience, the university will assist in exploring other potential options within the university and may review the assigned duties of students who are found to have violated university policy.

Permanent Class Schedule Adjustments

If it is determined that the most effective way to help ensure academic success is to adjust one or more classes the student is enrolled in, the university will assist in minimizing the impact to their academic plans and goals.

No-Cost Medical and Psychological Support

The university will provide no-cost medical and psychological services through Student Health Services and/or Student Counseling Center to assist any student who requests them as a result of any experience under investigation by the university.

No-Cost Academic Support

If it is determined that the experience placed the survivor's academic success in jeopardy, the university will make academic support services available at no cost.

Assistance in Adding, Dropping, or Retaking Courses

If the experience has made it difficult or impossible to continue with one or more classes for a period of time, the university will assist in the process of adding, dropping or retaking one or more courses at a different time, day, location or semester. The university will assist in determining the best course of action, taking financial aid, living and academic situations into account.

Judicial Orders

Victims of sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence or stalking are entitled to judicial orders from the court upon request. The university will assist the survivor by working with him or her and a crime victim advocate to ensure that proper procedures are followed to obtain such an order.
