Filing a Report

Online reporting (includes mandatory reports made by faculty & staff)

Online reporting is available using the Title IX Report Form.

• As mandatory reporters, faculty and staff who are making a required report -- reporting information about an incident affecting someone else -- do not have the option to submit this form anonymously.  Mandatory reporters must provide all details and information available to them when filing a report.
• Students, parents, or others with concerns about students may submit a report either anonymously or with their identifying information included.

Reports also may be emailed to [[reportconcern]].

Anonymous reporting options

• Anonymous reports may be filed physically using the secure dropbox located outside of the Office of Compliance & Equity on the first floor of James Blair Hall.  
• William & Mary Police may accept anonymous reports of sexual assault, which will be included in the university's crime statistics if appropriate under the Clery Act.  (757) 221-4596.  Please note that if you provide the Police with specific information, such as names, they will be obligated to share that information with the Title IX Coordinator.  

Reporting for criminal prosecution -- reporting to the police

Sexual assault and some other forms of sexual misconduct are crimes, and may be reported to law enforcement for investigation.  

William & Mary staff members can help students file a criminal complaint, if desired.  

Students and staff may report to the police and also report internally.  You do not need to choose one or the other.  

• The William & Mary Police generally have jurisdiction over incidents occurring on W&M's campus. 
• The Williamsburg City Police generally have jurisdiction over incidents occurring in the city of Williamsburg.
• The James City County Police generally have jurisdiction over incidents occurring in James City County.  

Other options

W&M has a number of confidential resources -- people and offices with whom you can speak without any other report being made.  

More information about other campus and off-campus resources and support is available online.
