Illegal Downloading

The Dean of Students Office also handles illegal downloading cases. Any student suspected of illegally downloading information  will have their access to the DePaul network removed, and will receive materials from one of the assistant deans of students with further information. All illegally downloaded materials must be removed, and only then will a student's access to the DePaul network be restored.

Title IX Complaints

As required by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, DePaul University prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in its education programming and activities. Find information  on how to file a Title IX complaint for sexual violence, sexual harassment or other sex discrimination here.

DePaul is committed to offering a secure and supportive environment for individuals who report incidents of sexual and relationship violence to receive resources and consider all available options.
