Sexual violence is a traumatic experience. While every individual will react differently, the experience can have significant lasting effects and interrupt many aspects of a survivor's life. A supportive and non-judgemental initial response to disclosure can significantly impact the survivor's ability to seek further support.
If there is an imminent risk of harm:
In an emergency on campus (i.e., imminent threat of sexual violence and of harm to a person or sexual violence actually occurring) a call can be made 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year in the following ways:
- Call 911
- Call Campus Security 705-498-7244
- Emergency phones, located inside the Education Centre near the elevators of the H and A wings. These phones are connected directly to Campus Security. All payphones have free access to 911.
- Emergency phones, located outside the Education Centre and Residence buildings. The blue light can identify these phones and link a caller to an emergency answering service attendant. Simultaneously a call from these phones notifies Campus Security of the call and caller's location.
- In-person: Campus Security office, Education Centre B203
- When a person discloses an incident of sexual violence to Campus Security, Campus Security will inform Student Development and Services that an incident has occurred.

In partnership with the Nipissing University Student Union (NUSU), Nipissing University has joined with REES (Respect, Educate, Empower Survivors) to provide online reporting for sexual violence on campus. REES allows campus community members to Create a Record of the incident and choose from multiple reporting options: Anonymous Report, Connect to My Campus, or Repeat Perpetrator Identification (RPI).
