The Board’s policy was adopted on March 11, 2003 and can be viewed in its entirety at the link below. The FDLE webpage link is provided to search for possible offenders by name (first and last), city, or zip code. There is an additional feature on the FDLE web page (under the University search function) that shows current students that are listed as offenders, by campus.

If you are the victim of a sexual assault, your first priority is to get to a safe place and obtain necessary medical attention. Victims are encouraged to make a timely report to law enforcement officials and/or campus security. The timely reporting of an incident is important for evidence collection and preservation. Filing a police report does not obligate a victim to cooperate with a prosecution. If a person makes a report to the Campus Security Office, the student will be given the option to notify local law enforcement. If the student does want to notify local law enforcement, campus security will assist with the notification. The campus security department will also assist in making contact with Palm Beach County Victim’s Services if they prefer not to notify local law enforcement.
An additional option for pursuing charges is through the College's disciplinary process, which is detailed in the Student Success Handbook.
