Response Resources

Victims of sexual misconduct (including sexual violence) have many services available to them so that they can obtain information and support. If you have experienced any type of sexual misconduct, know that we are here to help. There are a number of resources to assist you with your health and safety.

After a sexual assault, vital evidence may remain on your body or clothes. It is important to not shower, bathe, wash, change clothes, comb hair, eat or drink before a physical exam, if possible. See “Seeking Medical Assistance” for information on where to go for an exam, typically within 120 hours of an assault. 

Such physical evidence is important to a college investigation as well as a police investigation. Even if you showered or washed, evidence may still be collectible and medical conditions can be treated, even after 120 hours.

Electronic evidence can be extremely important to the outcome of an investigation. Save and/or screenshot any relevant text messages, social media posts, photos, Snapchats, voicemails or emails. These can be provided to the Title IX investigator for use in a college investigation.
