Support and Resources
Caring for the health, safety, and well-being of individuals is a top priority at the University of Notre Dame. A number of confidential and non-confidential resources, including campus support services, are available to assist our students, faculty, and staff.
Confidential Resources
Confidential Resources are available to to talk through your options, offer support, and provide resources. They will also keep your information private unless there is an imminent danger to the student or to others. In addition, a student’s disclosure during the Sacrament of Reconciliation (confession) will not be revealed by the priest for any reason, which is a sacred obligation protected by law.
Non-Confidential Resources
Non-Confidential Resources can talk with you about your experience and provide guidance on the reporting process. However, Non-Confidential Resources cannot promise confidentiality. With the exception of these Confidential Resources, all University employees, including faculty and staff, who receive information about any suspected or potential violations of sexual assault, sexual misconduct, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, and/or conduct that creates a hostile environment, whether from the student involved or a third party, must report the information to the University.
Campus Support Services
A variety of campus departments are available for students, faculty, and staff to discuss concerns related to discrimination and/or harassment.
