Complaints & Protection Orders

A complaint does not obligate a student to file a police report or interact with the alleged assailant. A complaint begins an investigation in which involved parties are met with individually. Students are provided with assistance needed during the investigation, e.g. modifying on-campus living and/or academic arrangements, and safety planning.

An order of protection is an official court order that can stop someone from contacting, approaching, or harassing you. For more information about protection orders, including documents and steps to file, contact CASAS, DVSAS, or the police.
