Hotline Vendor Change

We are pleased to inform you that as of 12/14/20, we have a new hotline vendor called ComplianceLine (Navex was our previous vendor). The hotline number remains the same (1-877-556-5356); however, the ComplianceLine URL for online reporting is different.
Please click on the orange action button at the top of the page to get more information.
As a reminder, events presenting an immediate threat to life or property should be reported via 911, not the Compliance Hotline. Additionally, for student concerns, please contact your college Dean’s Office or the Division of Student Affairs.
