Confidential Resources for Instances of Sexual and Gender-Based Misconduct
Community members may want to talk about their experiences involving sexual and related misconduct in a supportive, confidential space that allows them to discuss and process their feelings. If you prefer to report an incident confidentially, there are several on-campus and off-campus resources to assist you.
Maritime provides Confidential Resources, who are trained administrators and staff members available to those community members who do not wish to report their experience.
In addition, community members can reach out to Confidential Off-Campus Resources available in many cases, 24/7, 365 days per year. Except in limited circumstances of a life safety threat, communications with the Confidential Resources listed below will not be shared with the University Police, the Title IX Coordinator, the Deans of Students, or any other member of the University community. Referrals may be given to these offices for additional action at the choice of the person reporting.
SUNY Maritime students and employees have the right to make a report to University Police, local (NYPD) law enforcement, and/or the NY State Police or choose not to report; to report the incident to your college; to be protected by the college from retaliation for reporting an incident; and to receive assistance and resources from your college.

What that means is that in line with Federal and New York State law, while the University encourages you to use all of the response, support and reporting (including criminal reporting) resources offered here, the choice of what resources to use and when is for the victim and survivor.

Medical Assistance (Sexual Assault specific, hours vary)
In cases of injury due to domestic violence or assault, you are strongly encouraged to seek medical attention to properly address physical and mental health trauma and as needed, document the incident with photos if needed for future action. You need not (but are encouraged) to discuss the specifics of the incident with others until you meet with a healthcare professional. University Police, EMT’s or Paramedics, are well prepared to be sensitive to situations of interpersonal violence.
Sexual contact can sometimes transmit Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) and may result in pregnancy. Testing for STIs, emergency contraception, and medical attention are available. It is important to seek appropriate medical assistance as sometimes follow up testing is needed within 4-6 weeks and then 3-6 months. Below are some available off- campus healthcare providers:
