Reporting Channels and Resources for Students

Reporting Channels for Hazing Policy

Auburn University does not condone hazing, regardless of its form. Indeed, hazing is prohibited by the University's Code of Student Conduct and is a crime under Alabama law. No individual shall directly engage in hazing or indirectly encourage, aid, or assist any other person in hazing. All students and other university representatives, including employees, should immediately report known or suspected hazing violations. Consistent with the Stop Campus Hazing Act, Auburn University provides multiple avenues for reporting hazing and encourages students, employees, parents, alumni, and community members to report known or suspected hazing incidents.

To report hazing, you can contact Auburn University's Student Conduct Office or the Auburn Police Department. You can confidentially and anonymously report hazing allegations online or via text at 334-339-6200. To learn more about hazing prevention, reporting options, and available resources, visit Protect the Plains.

Reporting Alarming or Threatening Behavior

If the situation is an emergency or presents an imminent threat, call 911 immediately.

In non-emergency situations:

Alarming or threatening behavior should be reported to the Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management (BTAM) Team at 334-844-5010.

Reporting Channels for Potential Child Abuse or Neglect

Under Alabama law, all Auburn University employees have a mandatory legal duty to immediately report known or suspected child abuse or neglect of any person under the age of 19 to the Alabama Department of Human Resources. Failure to report is a criminal offense. Students are also encouraged to report.

Reporting Potential Hate or Bias Incidents

Students, faculty, staff and campus visitors who feel they have been targets of, or have been witness to, a hate or bias incident are strongly encouraged to complete a Bias Incident Form to make the university aware of such incidents.
