File a Report

When you file a report, we can use all of our available resources to ensure the best possible outcome for your case, or provide as much support as possible if you decide not to file.

Reporting Options

NC State strives to ensure that students, faculty, staff and visitors are safe and not subject to further discrimination, harassment or retaliation.

Should you experience or witness discrimination, harassment or retaliation, you have the option to file a report with NC State University and/or NC State Police.

Filing a report helps to inform the university of concerning behavior and conduct impacting our community and permits outreach to those directly affected to promote their safety and well-being.

You have the option to file an anonymous report or a confidential report. You can also choose a report that will lead to either a university investigation or a criminal investigation. Your options include but are not limited to the following.

File with the Office of Equal Opportunity

  • File a report with the Office of Equal Opportunity and/or the Title IX coordinator.

File with NC State Police

  • You are not required to file a report to law enforcement; however, if you believe a crime has occurred, you are encouraged to report the incident. If you wish, Equal Opportunity and Equity can provide assistance in reporting to the police.

Not Sure Where to Report?

For assistance in knowing where to report a concern, you can contact the Office of Equal Opportunity at 919.513.0574.

Community members are also welcome to consider the following. Please note that reporting to these departments may not be confidential.

  • If it is an emergency, call 911.
  • If you have experienced an incident of harassment that may be a crime under state criminal law, such as a physical assault, sexual assault, relationship violence or stalking, you can report the concern to NC State Police.
  • If you have experienced or witnessed discrimination, harassment or retaliation, you can report the concern to the Office of Equal Opportunity.
  • If you have concerns for an employee’s behavior or conduct in association with their position at NC State, report to Employee Relations.
  • If you have concerns for a student’s behavior or conduct, report to the Office for Student Conduct.
  • If you experience or witness an incident of bias that may be neither a crime nor a Title IX violation, report to the Impact Response Team.

Reporting Anonymously

You may make an anonymous report to the Office of Equal Opportunity and/or NC State Police by using the buttons above and not disclosing your name or identifying information. However, please note that NC State’s ability to respond or take further action may be impacted by the level of information available about the incident or the individuals involved.
