Bystander intervention occurs when a witness speaks up and/or steps in to stop a potentially dangerous situation. Bystanders often do not become involved in a situation because they do not know what to do, are worried about their own safety, or think other witnesses will intervene.
Visit the Collin Bystander Intervention page to learn more about bystander intervention and how to become an active bystander
In some instances prohibited conduct occurs because people do not have a good understanding of what constitutes consent to sexual activity. Therefore, it is important to have a good understanding of this concept.

In accordance with requirements under federal law, when a student or employee reports to Collin College they have been a victim of prohibited conduct, whether the offense occurred on or off campus, Collin College will provide the student or employee with a written notification of their rights, options, and supportive measures, which will outline appropriate on- and off-campus resources as well as steps the student or employee may want to take depending on the services they need. This written notification will be provided to the student or employee whether or not they choose to submit a formal complaint of prohibited conduct.
In the event a complaint is filed and the appropriate Title IX coordinator, deputy Title IX coordinator, or designee determines an investigation should be initiated, supportive measures will also be offered to the respondent.
