What to do?
Get to a safe place as soon as possible.
Get medical attention as soon as possible.
A medical examination will provide any necessary treatment and collect important evidence. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent. DO NOT wash, use the toilet, or change clothing if you can avoid it. If you do change clothing, put all clothing you were wearing at the time of the assault in a pillow case or a paper bag, not a plastic bag.
Call to get help and access resources.
The University has a trained group of professional staff members who are able to help you understand your options regarding medical attention, legal implications and university disciplinary action. Professional counselors/advocates are available to help explain your options, give you information, provide emotional support and help in your healing while maintaining confidentiality.
