Supportive Measures and Nearest Medical Facilities

Supportive Measures are non-disciplinary, non-punitive individualized services offered as appropriate, wither a Complaint (or Formal Complaint) has been filed. Such measures may include counseling, extensions of deadlines or other course-related adjustments, modifications of work or class schedules, campus escort services, mutual restrictions on contact between the parties, changes in work or housing locations, leaves of absence, and increased security and monitoring of certain areas of the campus, and other similar measures. Any applicable and appropriate supportive measures will be discussed at the onset of the investigation process.

Sexual Assault Evidence Collection Examination 

A sexual assault exam provides essential treatment for exposure to sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy. If the survivor elects to submit a criminal report, the Safety Coordinator will work with the survivor in reporting to the appropriate law enforcement office, so that they can provide access to the necessary exam. Ideally, the exam should be completed within 84 hours or less of the sexual assault for the preservation of evidence. The examination can be conducted at a hospital chosen by the survivor from the list below.
