Anonymous Reporting

UW now offers anonymous reporting of student or organization misconduct for hazing behavior or incidents, funded by the Student Technology Fee. You can text a report, including photos or videos, send an email, or use WhatsApp; your information will be confidential and anonymous. UW will not know your name, phone number/email address unless you share it with us.  

Use a mobile device with SMS capabilities to text 206-203-3435 or scan the QR Code below to begin your anonymous report. A UW staff member will guide you through the anonymous reporting process during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.   

If you’d like to consider other reporting options that do not require text messaging or email, please select your campus to direct you to a reporting form.

FAQ’S

RealResponse allows you to submit a report of hazing to Community Standards and Student Conduct (CSSC) without revealing your identity. When utilizing RealResponse, you will communicate with a staff member through texting, email, or WhatsApp without providing your personal information. This tool will reduce barriers to making a report and allow you to remain anonymous while a staff member helps address your concern.  

Allowing students to submit reports anonymously is one way we hope to build a positive reporting culture. We know that for true anonymity for students, we can encourage you to report sensitive issues or concerns without fear of retaliation.  

Once you submit your report, you will receive an automated response with UW resources should you need them. At the same time, the platform alerts the CSSC staff to review your report and take appropriate action or reach out for more information.  

RealResponse allows staff members to follow up directly with the reporter if additional information. As a reporter, you can engage as much or as little as you feel comfortable.  

RealResponse is designed to maintain the confidentiality of reporters and the information they share. UW wants to empower our community to report hazing behavior they witnessed or were victims of. The ability to offer confidentiality to our community allows UW to build trust in our reporting process and encourage our students to come forward with their concerns.
