Report an incident

UFV employees or students can use this form to report incidents of student misconduct related to:

• Policy 204 - Safe Student Learning Community
• Policy 18 - Discrimination, Bullying & Harassment Prevention
• Policy 236 - Prevention, Education and Response to Sexualized Violence 

If the incident involves UFV staff or faculty, please contact the university’s Human Rights & Conflict Resolution Office (HRCRO) instead.

The SRRO addresses student behaviour that conflicts with UFV community values, specifically under Policy 204. To determine if you should submit a report, consider the following questions:

1. Was discrimination, bullying, or harassment involved?
   1. Policy 18 - Discrimination, Bullying and Harassment Prevention covers behaviours related to discrimination, bullying, or harassment. See Policy 18 for definitions related to this.
2. Did the incident involve disruptive behaviour?
   1. Policy 204 -Safe Student Learning Community outlines the standards for maintaining a safe and respectful learning environment. See here for a list of prohibited behaviours.
3. Did any form of sexualized violence occur?
   1. Policy 236 – Prevention, Education and Response to Sexualized Violence addresses the prevention of sexualized violence and provides examples of behaviours that violate this standard. See Policy 236 for a definition of sexualized violence.

If you answered yes to any of these questions, we encourage you to Report the Incident.

When filling out the online form, in the incident description box please include:

• What happened: What did you witness or experience? Describe some of the actions or behaviours that were involved. How has this impacted you?
• Who was Involved: Share names, roles, and any identifying features of those involved, if known. Who were the individuals or groups involved in the incident?
• Outcome: What are you hoping for by submitting a report?

The SRRO may follow up with you for additional details to assess if the behaviours fall within our policy scope.

Your report is confidential and will only be viewed by the SRRO and, if necessary, other UFV administrators. 

After your report is submitted:

1. An SRRO staff member will review it and reach out to guide you through the next steps.
2. If the case proceeds to a student conduct process, a Student Support Coordinator will be assigned to provide resources and support throughout the process.

• To maintain administrative fairness, anonymous reports are not accepted.
• If you are reporting criminal activity, please consider contacting the police of local jurisdiction. For Abbotsford Police Department, Submit a report to the Abbotsford PD.
