What happens if I report another student to the University for harassment or sexual misconduct?
If you report another student, the University may investigate the concern under the Non-Academic Misconduct Procedure. This process is designed to be fair, trauma-informed, and respectful to everyone involved. Your report will be reviewed, and if there is enough information to proceed, the responding student will be informed and invited to a meeting.
Both you and the responding student will have the opportunity to share relevant information and suggest witnesses. A decision will be made based on the balance of probabilities - meaning whether it is more likely than not that the misconduct occurred. In serious cases, the matter may be referred to a Student Misconduct Panel. You will be kept informed throughout the process and offered support at every stage.
If you need any further assistance please contact us through AskUs, at the Catalyst Helpdesk, or by calling 01695 650800.
