Georgia Tech provides several options to those wishing to report a violation of any of its discrimination-based policies. This page will serve as a guide to help you understand not only how to report an incident of discrimination, but also the process that occurs after a report is submitted. 

Report to Georgia Tech

Use the links below to file a report about a violation of the sexual misconduct policy or the ADA/504, or to request a pregnancy accommodation.

Pregnancy Accommodations Reporting

Title IX protects pregnant and parenting students from discrimination. 

Report Sexual Misconduct

If you would like to report an incident of sexual misconduct, please use the form below. 

File a 504/ADA Grievance

If you would like to submit a grievance regarding protections under the Americans with Disabilities Act, please submit a report using the form linked below. 

Report to the Police

You may want to connect to the Georgia Tech Police because:

  • You need immediate resources and/or emergency assistance.
  • You want to learn more about pressing criminal charges.
  • You want a court-issued restraining order or anti-harassment prevention order.

Reporting an assault to GTPD or other law enforcement or campus security authorities allows all support systems to be put in place for the survivor. Filing a police report will provide the opportunity for the collection of evidence, which is helpful in prosecution and will allow the survivor to be connected with the appropriate support and medical resources. By law, the filing of criminal charges is required only in cases of domestic violence; all other survivors who file a police report have the option to decide whether they wish to pursue charges.

What happens when I do this?

GTPD may use this information to determine whether the Institute has a legal requirement to issue a timely warning to the campus community, to assist with legally required statistical record-keeping, and to respond to any other legal obligation.

Georgia Tech community members have the right to: 

  • Notify or decline to notify law enforcement, including GTPD, and local and state police, of an alleged incident of sexual misconduct
  • receive assistance from the Institute in making any such notification
  • obtain a court-issued protective order or an Institute-issued no-contact
  • concurrently utilize the formal complaint process for investigating the Sexual Misconduct or Equal Opportunity, Nondiscrimination and Anti-Harassment Policy, and any available external civil or criminal processes.
