Report Misconduct, Wellness Concerns and Discrimination

Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to submit an iCare Report if they are concerned about behavior that may be impacting a student’s academic success. Concerns may include:

• absences
• hospitalizations
• death
• mental health

Our Student Outreach and Support team will reach out to the student to assess what support or resources are appropriate. iCare referrals are received during normal business hours and not monitored after hours, on weekends or SFA's university holidays.

Use the Incident Report to report general incidents of misconduct, including:

• alcohol use
• drug use
• physical assault
• organizational violations
• hazing incidents
• or disruptive behavior.

Note: this route is not confidential.

Incident Report forms are reviewed by our staff members during regular business hours.

University-sponsored institutional absences

Excused absences may be granted for institutional purposes from otherwise-required academic activity only when a valid institutional absence is approved by the appropriate administrative unit or official.

Institutional absence criteria and approval process.

Other absence notifications

If you know you'll miss class for a legitimate reason other than a university-sponsored trip, notify your instructors through an online faculty notification request.

Note: This is not equivalent to an excused absence. This form is provided as a courtesy to you and your instructors.

Those wishing to file a police report should do so at the UTS-SFA police department, located at 232 E. College St.

If you wish to file an anonymous report, you may do so through the Rave guardian app, which can be downloaded to your smart phone.

If you need to obtain your student conduct records or have a Dean's certification completed for a background check or university transfer, submit the online records request form.

If you have directly experienced sex- or gender-based misconduct on campus or during a university-sanctioned event, use the Title IX Sexual Misconduct Reporting Form to report the incident.

You have the option to include your contact information or file anonymously. The university’s ability to take action might be limited without the knowledge of who was impacted by the incident. Visit the Title IX Office website for more information.

Responsible Employee Reporting

If you are a university employee reporting an incident you have been made aware of as a Responsible Employee, use the Responsible Employee Reporting Form. Responsible Employees with questions about their federal and state mandatory reporting responsibility should contact the Title IX Office at 936.468.8292 or titleix@sfasu.edu.

Texas law requires anyone who has reason to believe that a child has been abused or neglected to report the suspected abuse or neglect.

It is a criminal offense for a person who has cause to believe that a child's physical or mental health or welfare has been or may be adversely affected by abuse or neglect to knowingly fail to report as required by Texas law.
