Get immediate medical attention. A health professional needs to determine the extent of your injuries and necessary treatment. The University will provide transportation at your request. Expenses associated with your trip to the hospital may be covered under the Ohio Victims of Crime Program. 3. Do not bathe or douche and save all your clothing. Evidence for a criminal case may be present on your clothes. If you change clothes, save what you were wearing and place it in a Paper Bag. (Not Plastic) 4. While the University encourages the victim to report a sexual assault incident, the final decision rests with the victim. One can report the incident and later decide not to prosecute. The longer one waits to report a problem, the more difficult it may be to later prosecute. A Counselor is available if there is a need to discuss the incident with someone. 5. Campus Police are there to help. The officers have received special training regarding sexual assault and will work with the victim throughout the entire process. Initially, all contact with Campus Police, Health Services, and Counseling will be considered confidential. *Paper Bags may be obtained from the Student Life Coordinators, Campus Police, or Health Services. STALKING The University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College staff strives to make the campus safe for all students and staff. They are here to assist you in any way possible. According to Ohio law, stalking is a crime if a person knowingly engages in a pattern of conduct (i.e. following, harassing, or physically threatening another individual) that causes you physical harm or mental distress. If you feel that you are being stalked, report it immediately to the campus police department. Stalking is a crime. Ask for help! If you are in immediate danger, call 9-911 from a campus phone or 911 from a public phone.

The normal hours of operation are M-F, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Books are made available as directed by the faculty of the University. New textbook pricing follows suggested retail pricing by the textbook publisher. Used textbooks (when available) are priced at 25% lower than new book prices. Returns and exchanges of new or used textbooks are accepted on the following conditions: (1) the book must be returned within the period to coincide with the University of Community College posted date of last day to add or drop a class with full refund, (2) new books including sets, books with packaged diskettes or CDs must be in new and original packaging, (3) returns will only be accepted with the original cash register receipt. New books that are damaged or have been marked in will not be accepted for full return, although at the discretion of Bookstore management a lesser value may be offered. Books purchased after the posted date are sold on a nonreturnable basis. Other merchandise sold at the store will follow the posted times and regulations for returns and exchanges. The Bookstore also provides a buyback service for textbooks, which students no longer need. New or used books maybe sold to the Bookstore during the buyback period, normally held during the last week of each semester, with the prices, up to 50% of original new book prices, to be determined based on: (1) the book being required for classes in the following semester, (2) the Bookstore is not currently overstocked with that particular textbook, (3) the overall condition of the textbook. A national wholesale buyback service is also provided at that time to purchase textbooks no longer being used for classes at the University. The Rio Grande Bookstore instituted a new program for the rental of selected textbooks. The rental fee is normally 40% of the price of a new textbook, and textbooks can be rented on a semester by semester basis. Please check with the bookstore for additional details. 22
