Procedures Victims Should Follow

If you are the victim of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking while on campus you are asked to report the incident to the Title IX coordinator (912-443-5708), Savannah Technical College Police Department (912-443-5200), a CSA, or a local law enforcement agency (911). You are also encouraged to seek medical care at a local hospital emergency room. Victims of a sexual offense should not bathe, shower, or change clothes before receiving this medical attention for the importance of preserving evidence for the proof of a criminal offense. In addition, you may file a complaint and/or pursue criminal charges. The College will investigate all complaints of sex offenses and will take appropriate disciplinary action in each instance. It will also provide health care referral, advocacy referral, and other support services for students, faculty, staff or visitors who are victims of one of these sex offenses. Savannah Technical College will comply with a student’s request for assistance in notifying authorities which is mandatory per the Clery Act whether it is reported to the Savannah Technical College Police Department or a CSA they can assist the person in contacting their local police department. Victims are also not required to notify authorities of any crime and CSA’s will notify victims that they are not required to report but if they wish to file a report CSA’s can assist with this.
