Community members who have been or know someone who has been the victim of discrimination, sexual violence, assault, harassment, stalking, domestic/dating violence, or any other form of sexual misconduct are encouraged to make a report to the College. Individuals can learn about available options to file a report. Anonymous reports are accepted.

Westchester Community College values the health, safety, and well-being of its members, seeks to uphold the integrity of our academic pursuits, upholds the rights of others, and ensures community members are living up to their responsibilities. When an individual feels a member of the college community has acted in a manner that is contrary to these tenets, they are strongly encouraged to file a report so the college can initiate the appropriate response processes.

The college has several different types of reports it collects. However, if you are not sure which form to submit, please use the General Incident Report to share your information with the college.

It is important that you fill in as many of the fields on the form as you know. Please be as complete as possible as it will provide the College with the best opportunity to respond to this incident.

Each report will be seen by officials at Westchester Community College. In all reports, you may chose to withhold your identity and report anonymously; however, doing so may limit the college’s ability to respond.

These reports are reviewed during normal business hours and should not be used if you need emergency assistance. If you need IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE FOR AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, please call the 24/7 Campus Security Emergency Line at 6-911 from any campus phone, or (914) 606-6911 from any cellphone or outside line.
