Available Victim & Survivor Resources
College Resources
- Students can schedule a counseling appointment by visiting the front desk in the Administration Building. Also, students can self-refer by completing an online form at http://www.taftcollege.edu/admissions/confidential-counseling-self-referral-form/.
- Student Financial Aid – Sometimes a victim of a crime may feel the need to take a leave of absence from school. If a student is considering a leave of absence based on the circumstances of a complaint, he/she should understand there may be financial aid implications in taking such leave. This should be discussed with financial aid personnel, and the Title IX Coordinator can assist in facilitating this conversation if desired. The College’s financial aid website can be found at: https://www.taftcollege.edu/financial-aid/.
