Title IX Compliance
Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in educational programs and activities at most schools, colleges and universities. Title IX is commonly associated with the concept of gender equity in athletics – a goal that has supported the growth and strength of women’s athletics programs. Title IX is far broader in its scope and protections, including a prohibition on sexual harassment, sexual violence and all forms of sexual misconduct.
Under Title IX, the University, as a recipient of federal funding, must have a process in place for responding to allegations of sexual discrimination, harassment or sexual violence. Placing these responsibilities under the auspices of an educational institution is a sensitive subject, since many feel that such complaints should be handled exclusively by the police. Individuals are encouraged to report criminal behavior to local law enforcement. However, even when local law enforcement is involved, universities are required to provide an alternative process for resolving complaints within our community. Our processes are designed to provide the affected individuals with more support and resources than they might find in the criminal justice system.
Faculty and staff are obligated to report any information brought to their attention related to sexual assault, sexual harassment or sexual violence. For additional information about Title IX and contact information on reporting, go to http://www.coastal.edu/titleix/. The CCU Title IX Coordinator may be reached by calling the Office phone: 843-349-2382, Email: titleix@coastal.edu. The Coordinator will facilitate our efforts to improve the campus climate, ensure we have effective resources in place for students, faculty and staff who are affected by sexual harassment, discrimination or violence, and implement policies and practices that are prompt, equitable and in compliance with federal mandates including Title IX. Please know that we will be vigilant in addressing these issues and doing everything we can to maintain a safe educational and work environment for all members of the Coastal community.

Sex Offender Registry
As required by the Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act, part of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, the law provides that those required to register as sex offenders under various state laws must now also provide notice when they attend or are employed by an institution of higher education. The Coastal Carolina University Department of Public Safety maintains a registry of CCU students and employees who have been convicted of sex crimes. This registry is available to any member of the public. Anyone who wishes to view the registry should contact the CCU Department of Public Safety.
