Academic Accommodations and Supportive Measures
Experiencing sex discrimination, sexual harassment and assault, and/or retaliation can interfere with academic and work performance and feelings of safety. The Title IX Office is available to coordinate free resources and reasonable academic accommodations and supportive measures. Supportive measures are non-disciplinary, non-punitive individualized services that may be made available regardless of whether or not an individual chooses to pursue a formal complaint with the College—no disciplinary action need occur before academic accommodations and supportive measures are available.
In situations where the Complainant wishes to remain anonymous and/or the Respondent is unknown, it may not be possible to implement certain interim measures such as a no communication directive.
Examples of supportive measures include, but are not limited to:
- Safety planning
- Providing campus safety escorts
- Providing transportation accommodations
- Implementing contact limitations (no contact directives) between the parties
- Academic accommodations and support, extensions of deadlines, or other course/program-related adjustments
- No trespass directives
- Class schedule modifications, withdrawals, or leaves of absence
- Altering campus housing assignment(s)
- Altering work arrangements for employees or student-employees
- Increased security and monitoring of certain areas of the campus
- Referral to counseling, medical, and/or other healthcare services
- Referral to the Employee Assistance Program
- Referral to community-based service providers
- Visa and immigration assistance
- Student financial aid counseling
- Education to the community or community subgroup(s)
- Timely warnings (as required by the Clery Act)
- Any other actions deemed appropriate by the Title IX Coordinator

Other On-campus Resources
It is your right to have an advisor (an individual available to support you) present with you for all meetings with the Title IX Office and Title IX proceedings. The Title IX Office maintains a pool of trained process advisors from which you may choose, or you may choose a non-trained advisor from outside the pool, if preferred, or proceed without an advisor. Your advisor may be a friend, mentor, family members, attorney, or any other supporter you choose; however, having a support person is not mandatory. In the event a report goes to an investigation, your support person cannot also serve as a witness.
Trained Advisors
The following trained advisors of the Title IX Office are available to provide support, act as process advisors, and take intake reports on behalf of the Title IX Coordinator and Deputy Coordinator.
