Upon request and if reasonably available, the University provides Complainants and Respondents with academic intervention assistance (transferring to another class, rescheduling an exam, accessing academic support such as tutoring, arranging for incompletes or withdrawal, and preserving eligibility for academic, athletic, or other scholarships, financial aid, internships, study abroad, or foreign student visas and immigration status). Students may request academic assistance regardless of whether or not they request additional action by the University. To request academic assistance, please contact the Office of Equal Opportunity and Title IX Programs.
Academic advocacy is also provided to Complainants by the Women and Gender Resource Center. If requested and if reasonably available, the WGRC provides academic advocacy, which may include changing academic schedules, assisting with missed classes, rescheduling exams, etc.
The University also assists students who have a disability (including those who may have developed a disability as a result of experiencing Prohibited Conduct) through the Office for Disability Services for registering for longer term reasonable accommodations.
