I Don't Know Where to Start

To receive supportive services from ASAP you are not required to initiate a report with law enforcement or the University. Our goal is to help survivors navigate and explore all of their options and resources available. It can be very overwhelming and you may have a lot of questions, speaking with an advocate is a great place to start. 

Confidential vs. Non Confidential

It is important for students to know that most employees of the University of Northern Colorado (including staff, faculty, coaches, and student employees such as resident advisors) are required to report to the University instances of gender-based violence. However the University does offer confidential spaces for the 麻豆传媒 Community.
