Here to Help: Reasonable changes

Regardless of where the reported violence occurred, or if an individual chooses to make a report to the university, information on counseling or therapeutic services, medical services, victim advocacy, legal assistance, visa and immigration assistance, and student financial aid assistance is available. Additionally, the university may offer reasonably available changes to academic, living, transportation or working situations if requested.
