Get Help & Report

If you are experiencing an emergency, call 911 immediately or 202-885-3636 for on-campus emergency assistance.

If you have experienced—or know someone who has experienced—sex- or gender-based discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual violence, dating or domestic violence, or stalking, support and reporting options are available.

You may:

  • Report for yourself
  • Report on behalf of someone else
  • Submit a concern as a Responsible Employee (employees designated as Responsible Employees are required to report incidents that are disclosed to them to Equity & Title IX)

Reporting to the University allows you and or the impacted to learn about available options, request supportive measures (such as academic, housing, or workplace accommodations), and decide whether to pursue a formal or informal resolution. Making a report does not require you to take any specific action.

Whether or not you choose to report, you are encouraged to seek support. Confidential advocacy, counseling, medical care, and spiritual support are available. Some medical services, including evidence collection exams, are most effective soon after an incident, but support is available regardless of when it occurred.
