Students can choose to report sexual misconduct to police and to SMU. Students also can choose to report either to police or to SMU, or can choose not to report. The SMU process and the criminal process are independent of each other and can be pursued at the same time.
Students can report sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence and stalking to the police and pursue a criminal process. To reach SMU Police, call 214-768-3333 or pick up a blue-light phone on campus at any time of day or night.
Those who wish to anonymously provide information regarding suspicious or criminal activity to SMU Police may call 214-768-2TIP (2847) or submit information online at smu.edu/2TIP. The form may be submitted anonymously or with a name and contact information.
