Providing Information to Students

Responsible Employees are expected to inform each student who provides information regarding sexual harassment or other sex or gender-based misconduct of the student's ability to report to the Title IX Coordinator and available methods for doing so.

The Title IX Reporting Form is the most common way that individuals Report Sexual Harassment or Other Sex or Gender-Based Misconduct. Reports can also be made in the following ways:
