Victim Advocacy

SOC provides free advocacy and referral services to victims of college campus crime including homicide, sexual assault, and hazing.  SOC is a clearinghouse of information for victims and their families regarding Clery Act compliance and Title IX guidelines.  We do not provide crisis counseling but can offer referrals for victims nationwide. 

Through our resources, our staff is committed to empowering students, student victims, and parents to learn about the unique rights afforded to students on college campuses.  Furthermore, we provide outreach and training to educate college campus community members about prevention services, collaboration techniques, and how to raise awareness on campus about campus crime.

Please call 1-888-251-7959 with any questions.

We do not have a 24-hour hotline.  If this is a true emergency, please call you local law enforcement, campus police, or 911.

Note: Security on Campus does not provide counseling or other legal services to victims of campus crime.  This Victim Advocacy Page is provided as a public service to facilitate connections between victims and service providers who have made themselves known to SOC.

Title IX

If you are a sexual assault victim/survivor, you reported the assault to your school, and they failed to promptly and effectively respond then your Title IX rights may have been violated. One of your options is to file a complaint with the U.S. Dept. of Ed.'s Office for Civil Rights (OCR). Our summary of these Title IX rights is also available in PDF format.
