April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month
The University of Arizona prohibits sexual assault. Sexual assault is any attempted or actual sexual act directed against a person without their consent, including where a person is incapable of giving consent.
Rights & Options
The University of Arizona offers resources to students and employees impacted by sexual assault. 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.
Those impacted by sexual assault 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 someone chooses to involve law enforcement or a university disciplinary authority, the university provides 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.
Additional information on rights and options is available through:
