File a Report

Students (includes graduate and medical students, post-docs, and residents)

Rutgers supports members of the university in their decision to find support or report any misconduct to the RUPD or Title IX Coordinators. If you are looking for confidential options to discuss the incident before making a decision to report, feel free to reach out to the Office for Violence Prevention and Victim Assistance located on your campus.

Non-confidential Title IX Coordinators are available to give students and other Rutgers members clear, transparent information about university policies and procedures for addressing sexual and relationship misconduct.
