Report an incident

All VCU employees must report incidents of prohibited conduct to the Title IX Coordinator, as outlined in the Interim Title IX Sexual Harassment Policy or the Interim Sex-Based Misconduct Policy. Only confidential employees, including licensed medical, clinical, and mental health professionals as defined in the policy, are exempt from disclosing information without an individual’s permission except as required by law.

If you have experienced prohibited conduct, you may report it to the university, law enforcement or both. VCU urges any person with knowledge of an incident to report it immediately using the following options:

File a report

File a report online by using the Title IX Incident Reporting Form. You can also email titleix@vcu.edu or select one of the options below.

Contact law enforcement in case of emergencies, safety concerns or criminal matters:

• 911 (emergencies); (804) 646-5100 (non-emergencies)
• VCU Police (804) 828-1234 (emergencies); (804) 828-1196 (non-emergencies)

Use the VCU Helpline

• VCU’s confidential Ethics and Compliance Helpline website for online reporting allows for anonymous reporting.

Complaints should be filed under this policy within two years of the date of the alleged incident. The university will evaluate complaints filed later than that to determine whether supportive or interim measures are needed by the complainant, whether a continuing threat to the university community exists, and whether a formal investigation is warranted and practically feasible.
