Support and Resources

The College will offer supportive measures to any individual who experiences gender-based misconduct and any other prohibited discrimination. Supportive measures are non-disciplinary and non-punitive and are offered to all parties. These measures are intended to help ensure the well-being and safety of community members and to restore and/or preserve equal access to the college’s educational program or activity while not unreasonably burdening the other party.

Potential supportive measures may include: change in campus housing, change in schedule, academic accommodations, access to counseling on and off campus, No Contact Orders, and any other actions deemed appropriate by the Title IX Coordinator.

How To Request Supportive Measures

Following an allegation of gender-based misconduct, the Title IX Coordinator can assist with providing supportive measures and accommodations. Supportive measures are available regardless of whether you would like to make a formal complaint or pursue an investigation. You can request supportive measures using the form below.
