Victims' Rights & Options
Experiencing victimization can be traumatic. Victims may feel isolated and confused, and not know where to turn for support and information. The University of Arizona offers resources to students and employees impacted by domestic and dating violence. Available supportive accommodations can be enacted quickly, before or without a complaint being filed, and will be confidential to the extent allowable under law and policy.
Victims' Rights & Options Brochure
Victims of domestic violence and dating violence have multiple options regarding the involvement of law enforcement and university authorities including the option to: notify law enforcement authorities, including on-campus and local police; be assisted by university authorities in notifying law enforcement; or decline to notify such authorities.
Whether or not a victim chooses to involve law enforcement or a university disciplinary authority, the university provides victims with information on, and access to, existing counseling, health, mental health, survivor advocacy, legal assistance, visa and immigration assistance, student financial aid, and other support and resources.
