Process for Formal Complaints against Students

• Formal Complaints against students are adjudicated through the Student Code of Conduct system via the Office of Student Conduct on GU’s main campus.  To view a detailed summary of the Sexual Misconduct Policies and Procedures, as well as detailed complaint process resources and info sheets, please visit https://studentconduct.georgetown.edu/sexual-misconduct-procedures
• Please contact GU-Q’s Deputy Title IX Coordinator or the Director of Student Life for more information and to initiate a Formal Complaint against a student.  

Process for Formal Complaints against Faculty or Staff 

• Formal Complaints against Faculty or Staff are handled by GU’s Office of Institutional Diversity, Equity, and Affirmative Action (IDEAA) on GU’s main campus.  The IDEAA Grievance Procedures provide a detailed overview of the process.
• Please contact GU-Q’s Deputy Title IX Coordinator or titleixideaa@georgetown.edu for more information and to initiate a Formal Complaint against a Faculty or Staff member.

NOTE: Making a Report is not the same as filing a Complaint. An individual will typically only be informed that a report was made and undergo investigation when a formal Complaint is filed. It is your choice to file a Complaint or not, and there are many protective actions that can be taken without filing a formal Complaint or disclosing your identity. Contact the Deputy Title IX Coordinator for more details.
