Resources: Where can I get help?

It is important to understand that there are certain resources on campus that are confidential. Confidentiality is a guarantee that no information will be shared with third parties without the reporter's permission. University Police can take confidential police reports but they have a legal obligation to investigate any report of a crime or safety issue. The reporting party information (i.e., name, address, etc.) is kept confidential.

The Confidential Resources on campus are the Counseling Center, Health Services and the Wellness Center.
