What to Expect From a Title IX Referral

Step 1: Submit a Referral

Students, faculty, and staff can submit a referral to the Title IX Office through the Title IX website. The referral connects the affected person to Title IX to ensure they get information about resources.

Step 2: Email from Title IX

Title IX will email the affected person to provide them a list of resources. Title IX will also offer to meet with the affected person to discuss supportive measures. Confidential Advocacy will be copied on the email, so the confidential advocate may also reach out.

Step 3: Follow Up

If the affected person does not reply to the first email, Title IX will send one more follow-up email two weeks later.

Step 4: Meet with Title IX

The affected person can choose to schedule a meeting with Title IX to discuss supportive measures. The affected person can bring a support person to the meeting.

Step 5: Supportive Measures

Title IX can provide supportive measures to the affected person upon request. Supportive measures may include academic support, housing or work adjustments, or Cease Contact Directives.

Step 6: Formal Complaint

The affected person may choose to submit a Formal Complaint to initiate the accountability process.
