Support. Information. Options.
If you are visiting this page, you may have been referred to Victim Services by an officer, department, or campus resource — or you may simply be looking for information or wondering whether we can help. If you have experienced something difficult, stressful, or unexpected, we can help you understand your options and identify what support may be available.
Despite our name, Victim Services is not only for people who have experienced a crime. We support students, faculty, staff, campus visitors, and others who may be affected by a difficult or concerning situation. This can include medical emergencies, suspicious or concerning activity, relationship or personal concerns, and other stressful experiences, as well as crimes such as harassment, fraud, assualt, sexual assault, stalking, and other criminal activities.
Our services are free. You do not have to report a crime or participate in an investigation to talk with us.

- Receive crisis support during a difficult or stressful situation
- Talk through what happened and identify your options
- Develop a safety plan

What to Expect
You do not have to have everything figured out before contacting Victim Services.
We can listen, answer questions, explain your options, and help you identify possible next steps. Our role is to provide information and support so you can make informed decisions about what comes next.
Victim Services is not a confidential service. Information may be shared when necessary to provide services or when required by law.
