Please note that while it is 100% your choice if you would like to report an incident of sexual violence, we strongly encourage that you do. There are many reporting options available based on how you would like to proceed.
Informal/Information Report
Informal reports help the College community have an informed understanding of occurrences, and needs within the College community. Reports work to create a safer environment for everyone. You can make an informal report by speaking with any Fleming Employee. Please note: Without a formal report an investigation is unlikely.
