Immediate Victim Assistance and Interim Protective Measures
Medical Care and Crisis Center Services
The University has established formal partnerships with local sexual assault and domestic violence crisis centers near each NLU Campus. These centers provide confidential services for a range of sexual misconduct and relationship violence issues and have agreed to work with NLU to serve members of the NLU community. The following centers are available to NLU students:

Additionally, there are many local health care sites that can provide treatment for injuries or sexually transmitted diseases, as well as perform rape kits in order to preserve evidence should a victim want to pursue charges at a later point. Several of these resources staff Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE) who hold specialized training in providing rape kits in a victim-sensitive manner.
