Speak With Someone Confidentially
Individuals who wish to obtain confidential assistance without making a report to the University may do so by speaking with professionals who are obligated by law to maintain confidentiality, subject to the stated terms of confidentiality of that office.
Campus Pastor
Students can meet confidentially with the Campus Pastor to receive support, crisis-intervention services, and spiritual care. Contact the Campus Pastor at (949) 214-3024 or stop by BMC 102 on Monday-Thursday 8 a.m.-3 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m.-noon.

Call the Wellness Center at (949) 214-3102 or stop by the center on the first floor of the Student Union on Monday-Friday 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
Notify the University and or File an Official Complaint
A report of sexual misconduct or relationship violence can be made at any time, regardless of how much time has elapsed since the incident occurred. An official complaint to Concordia University Irvine can be made to any of the following individuals:

Seek Emergency Medical Treatment
Get emergency medical treatment and have evidence of the assault collected and preserved
After an incident of sexual misconduct or relationship violence, the victim should consider seeking medical attention as soon as possible. In California, evidence may be collected even if you chose not to make a report to law enforcement. Medical care is usually provided by a doctor and/or a sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) in a hospital emergency department or medical clinic. In circumstances of sexual assault, if victims do not opt for forensic evidence collection, health care providers can still treat injuries and take steps to address concerns of pregnancy and/or sexually transmitted disease.
