Campus Resources

The College is committed to providing support to all parties involved in an allegation of sexual misconduct. Students are encouraged to talk with and receive support from any member of the Rollins community. Faculty and staff members receive training on how to assist students who disclose information related to sexual misconduct. We also recognize that students may feel most comfortable talking with someone outside of our community – parents, friends from home, or the Victim Service Center (VSC) of Central Florida.

Students should be aware of the confidentiality and privacy policies of different offices. Other than the individuals designated as confidential resources, all faculty and staff members (including RAs and Peer Mentors) are required to give information about sexual misconduct and harassment to the Title IX Coordinator. If you are unsure of someone’s duties or ability to maintain your confidentiality, ask them before you talk with them. If they are required to report, they will still honor your privacy, however, they cannot offer you complete confidentiality. They will tell you their reporting obligations and listen and support you in the reporting process. They can also offer you referrals to the Office of Title IX and to the Wellness Center.

The Title IX Coordinator is available to support you and can offer a variety of interim measures, such as changes to living arrangements and/or class schedules, no contact orders, and referrals to resources on and off campus that might be helpful to you and to ensure your safety. Reporters and survivors of sexual misconduct and harassment receive amnesty and all involved parties are protected from retaliation. More information about amnesty and retaliation is included in the Title IX Policy.

Confidential Assistance

The College recognizes that not every student will be prepared to report to the College and/or local law enforcement at the time of an incident. Students seeking to talk to someone about an incident of sexual misconduct or harassment confidentially without formally reporting to the College or triggering the College to investigate can utilize the following confidential resources for support:

Victim Advocate from the Victim Service Center (VSC) of Central Florida: The VSC operates a Sexual Assault Hotline. The hotline is for anyone seeking immediate telephone crisis intervention services or information on sexual assault. The hotline is operated by certified Sexual Assault Counselors. Certified Sexual Assault Counselors are trained to provide immediate crisis intervention and ongoing support. Phone number: 407.500.HEAL (4325) (24 hours a day/7 days a week). Services can be received regardless of whether the crime is reported to law enforcement.

Services also include forensic evidence collection by a SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) that occurs in a private facility which offers a calming home-like environment. A Victim Advocate is available to accompany individuals during the exam, and all information provided to the advocate is confidential.

The following confidential resources are available on campus during business hours:

  • Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) at the Wellness Center (407.628.6340): Students can access one-on-one mental health counseling on campus at no cost with a licensed mental health professional.
