COMMUNITY STANDARDS

Scott Hall is currently open, but staff are still working remotely periodically but still available during normal business hours by phone, MicrosoftTeams, or email.

As always, we ask you to submit an incident report or complaint on the NUhelp website via the Community Concerns Report form. You may use this form to report an incident or alleged violation by a Northwestern University student of the Student Code of Conduct.

Although this form allows users to submit a report without providing their name or contact information, please understand that our options for acting on anonymous reports are limited. At a minimum, we ask reporters to provide contact information so that we can verify the authenticity of the submission.

To report incidents or alleged violations of the university’s policy on sexual misconduct, please use the Sexual Misconduct Reporting Form

Our first concern is the safety and well-being of our students. If you or anyone you know feels unsafe or is in danger, please call 911 or NUPD at 847-491-3456 (Evanston) or 312-503-3456 (Chicago).

• Failure to comply with quarantine and isolation expectations may be in violation of University health and safety guidelines because of the potential it has to spread the COVID-19 virus. For residential students, visit the Quarantine and Isolation Housing page for additional information.

• If you need to miss a required COVID-19 test, you will need to contact the COVID-19 Testing Support team through NU-COVID-Testing-Support@northwestern..edu prior to the date of the test. Missing a required test without approval or engagement with the COVID-19 Testing Support team may result in a referral to the Office of Community Standards.

• Northwestern Contact Tracers and Case Management is meant to provide support to students who test positive for COVID-19 or may have been exposed to the COVID-19 virus.  All members of the Northwestern community are expected to provide requested information and adhere to guidelines and protocols communicated by these teams. Failure to respond to communications, provide requested information, or provide false information may result in a referral to the Office of Community Standards.

• Students, faculty, and staff are required to wear face masks/face coverings in classrooms, lab-based classes, and other spaces where instruction takes place through the Winter Quarter. In addition, masks are still required in university health settings such as Health Services, Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) and the university COVID-19 testing sites. For more information: Face Coverings and Face Masks

• Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to submit an Community Concerns Report related to masking violations. Individuals who have repeated masking violations, may result in escalated consequences.

• Community members are encouraged to kindly remind the individual of the current masking expectation and submit a Community Concerns Report.
