Every student, employee, and visitor is entitled to a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment at CSM. It takes all members of the college community to maintain an atmosphere of security and acceptance. We encourage everyone, both students and employees, to report any incidents that you may have witnessed or experienced that jeopardize a safe, welcoming environment.
See something? Say something.
Each person has a role in helping to provide a safe and secure environment. It cannot be stressed enough: If you see something, say something. At the College of Southern Maryland, you can do so in several ways:
We ask students, staff, faculty, and visitors to report anything that they consider suspicious or outside what they may consider normal, whether it pertains to individuals or interactions you have. This includes activities, behaviors, social media postings, rumors or other troubling information.
The College of Southern Maryland encourages students, staff, faculty and visitors to review regularly the resources available at www.csmd.edu/ready and to contact CSM’s Public Safety directly with any additional questions or comments. CSM’s goal is to provide the most accurate information as quickly as possible and public information is provided through the college’s online newsroom at www.csmd.edu/news and CSM public safety page at www.csmd.edu/ready.
In order to maintain an environment conducive to educational excellence, the College of Southern Maryland has identified behaviors that are in opposition to this goal. The academic and behavioral expectations for our students are discussed in greater detail within the Student Code of Conduct.
The College is also concerned about any behaviors and activities that are disruptive to the mission of the college and potentially harmful to members of the college community. Concerning behaviors may or may not be violations of the Student Code of Conduct, but give general concern for the safety of the individual or of others. Behaviors may be erratic, aggressive, indicate potential to harm self or others, drastic changes in behavior, or indicate substance abuse.
The College encourages faculty, staff, and students to report all incidents that may violate the college’s academic or behavioral standards.
If you believe a violation of the academic or behavioral standards has occurred, or if you have observed behaviors that give you cause to be concerned, please report it.
The College of Southern Maryland prohibits harassment of its employees, students, or visitors based on gender, sexual orientation, race, age, color, religion, disability, marital status, or national origin. Retaliation against those who allege such harassment is strictly prohibited. This policy includes campus-based hate crimes. Complaints alleging discrimination are investigated and resolved through the Student Affairs office.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits the exclusion of people from jobs, services, activities, or benefits based on disabilities. Consistent with our nondiscrimination policy, the College of Southern Maryland has made many accommodations to facilitate a fully accessible, to the extent possible, barrier-free environment. Students requesting accommodations based on a disability should follow the Procedures for Requesting Reasonable Accommodations.
If you have experienced discrimination, harassment, or an act of retaliation, please fill out the complaint form:
Sexual misconduct is a form of sex discrimination prohibited by federal and state discrimination laws, including Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and is strictly prohibited by CSM. Sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic and dating violence, stalking, and retaliation are acts that fall into this category. This policy also applies to campus-based hate crimes.
The college has resources available to assist survivors of these acts. To report these behaviors to the college, please submit a report to the Title IX Coordinator:

Report Sexual Misconduct or Relationship Violence
Integrity is a core value at the College of Southern Maryland (CSM). Members of the CSM community—including employees, student workers, students, vendors, contractors, and other external partners—are encouraged to raise questions or concerns when something appears inconsistent with College policy, legal requirements, or ethical expectations.
In many situations, concerns can be addressed by speaking with a supervisor, instructor, department leadership, or the appropriate College office. Raising concerns early often allows issues to be resolved quickly and constructively.
If you are uncomfortable raising a concern through regular College channels, or prefer to report confidentially or anonymously, CSM offers an Ethics and Compliance reporting option through a third‑party provider, EthicsPoint (Navex).
This option may be used to:
Reports may be submitted online or by calling (888) 552‑8064. You are encouraged to provide as much information as possible to help us understand and appropriately address the concern.
Raise a Concern or Ask a Question
If you would like to ask a question or raise a concern informally, you may also contact the Compliance & Risk Management Office at compliance@csmd.edu. Please note that email is not anonymous. Individuals who wish to report concerns confidentially or anonymously should use the EthicsPoint reporting option.
This reporting option complements—rather than replaces—existing College reporting processes and is not intended for emergency or immediate safety concerns.
CSM reviews reports promptly and discreetly and strictly prohibits retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. Speaking up helps strengthen a culture of accountability, transparency, and trust.
