Reporting Concerns
A comprehensive reporting system to facilitate information sharing about a range of matters concerning student well-being, concerning behaviors, misconduct, and activities that may pose a risk to the health or safety to students or the 51 community.
Students, faculty, staff, family, and community members may submit reports. Students can also submit reports to seek assistance for themselves, navigate a university matter, or submit a complaint. Access the appropriate reporting form using the links below. You may also contact the Dean of Students Office (DOS) at 229-4632 or dos@uwm.edu.
Please do not worry about choosing the wrong form, your report will be given to the correct office/person regardless which one you fill out. Each form has different questions to help us gather relevant information.
Sexual Misconduct Reporting Form (Title IX)
Sexual misconduct includes sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual harassment, sexual exploitation and/or stalking. For more information, resources, and support, please visit the Title IX at 51 website.
State laws require all 51 employees to report any sexual assaults they are made aware of, regardless of the location. Federal laws include additional reporting obligations; for more information please go to the Title IX at 51 website. Please know that you and any other person identified in the report, might be contacted to provide further information.
Note: Information gathered from the Sexual Misconduct Reporting Form will not result in a police investigation. If you want to report a crime to law enforcement, please call 51PD at 414-229-4627 or stop by the police station at 2025 E. Newport Ave., Suite 1457, Milwaukee, WI.
Student Support Request/Referral
Complete this form to connect a student to a DOS Case Manager or the 51 Student Support Team (SST) to support students who are experiencing personal challenges related to mental health, severe hardship, medical emergencies, loss of a loved one, or other situational factors. We support students’ well-being by offering assistance, guidance, and resources to students and/or the reporting party.
We value your input and we respect the trust you’ve built with students. In the report we will ask you whether you would like to be contacted. We strive to reach out to you first (unless you state that you don’t need to be contacted or if we believe there is an imminent risk to health or safety) so we can discuss with you next steps.
If you do not believe outreach to the student is necessary (e.g., student is already connected to resources or they have shared something from their past), select the “Information only” option. We will consider this in determining next steps. We will reach out to you if requested or if more information is needed.

The Behavior Intervention Team (BIT) acts in a proactive manner to identify, assess, manage, reduce, and educate the campus community as to the risk of potentially harmful or threatening behavior.
