Types of Campus Resources for Students

When it comes to resources offered on campus, there are three types: Confidential and Privileged, Confidential, and Non-Confidential. Confidential and privileged resources will not report the incidents to the College unless asked by the reporter to do so. Confidential resources are resources that will not report identifiable information (names, exact locations, etc.) but are required to report basic information to the College (nature, general location, and date). Non-Confidential resources are required to report to the College.

While each resource has something different to offer survivors, it is important to keep in mind that there is no right or wrong choice. For further details about these resources and for other options please see below.
