Our Commitment to a Safe Campus
Welcome to Florida International University’s incident reporting website. This website guides you in sharing important information with University offices tasked with addressing and responding to student concerns, student and academic misconduct, discrimination, harassment, sexual harassment and sexual misconduct in the FIU community.
Office of Title IX and Equal Employment Opportunity Compliance is responsible for ensuring that FIU maintains a workplace and learning environment free from discrimination, where current and prospective faculty, staff, and students are treated fairly.
If any student, employee or applicant has a sincere and reasonable belief that they have been discriminated against or harassed based on age, color, disability, marital status, ethnic or national origin, race, religion, retaliation, sex or any other protected category, the University encourages them to use the resources below to report the incident.
