Tulane Campus Health has student resources and support for survivors of sexual assault. Campus Health offices at the Health Center (Uptown or Downtown) and CAPS for Counseling Services are designated as confidential resources, which means information you disclose will not be shared unless you provide permission.

  • You do not need to make a formal report or press charges to receive care.
  • Our health services are available to all current students.
  • Students on Downtown campuses may go to the Uptown campus to receive services.

Health Center for Student Care
