UCLA does not tolerate sexual violence and responds to all reports of sexual violence in accordance with UCLA procedures and the UC Policy on Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment (PDF). Sanctions for a student found responsible for committing sexual assault or other sexual violence may include dismissal from the University. See the Title IX policies and rights web page.
If a Person Has Been Sexually Assaulted
Those who believe that they are a victim of sexual assault can
- immediately call the police department. If possible, call the UCLA Police Department at 310-825-1491 or 911
- get medical attention. Campus police will provide transportation to the Rape Treatment Center at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center for medical treatment and evidence collection. A confidential counselor from the Rape Treatment Center will be available at that time, free of charge
- report to Title IX. Students have the right to report to the University, and can do that by contacting the Title IX Office by e-mail or by calling 310-206-3417. If the other person is a student or employee, the office can take administrative action, and explain those options. The Title IX Office also offers interim measures to prevent individuals from experiencing additional harm. Those measures can include, but are not limited to, academic accommodations, no-contact directives prohibiting contact, and housing transfers
Utilize confidential campus and community support services
- contact a Campus Assault Resources and Education (CARE) advocate. CARE Advocates are available to support and advocate for UCLA victims or survivors. They can discuss options and alternatives, help identify the most appropriate support services, and provide information about medical care, psychological counseling, academic assistance, legal options, how to file a police report, and how to file a complaint with the Title IX Office. CARE advocates are available to assist any member of the UCLA community regardless of where or when the assault occurred. For assistance, contact CARE at 310-206-2465 or go to 205 Covel Commons and ask to speak to a CARE advocate
- contact the Rape Treatment Center at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center (424-259-7208) for free emergency medical treatment and counseling services
Assistance is available for persons who have been subjected to sexual violence. They are encouraged in the strongest terms to make a report to the Title IX Office.
