About the Student Handbook
Warren Wilson College publishes a Student Handbook each year to help students understand how the College is structured and to inform them of what is expected of them as members of the College community. The Student Handbook provides information about the organization of the College and campus policy. This Handbook should be used in tandem with the Warren Wilson College Catalog. Both publications should be read carefully; students are responsible for knowing and understanding its content.
Be advised that the provisions of this Handbook are not to be regarded as an irrevocable contract between the student and Warren Wilson College. The information in the Student Handbook is current as of publication but is subject to change.

If possible, do not shower, bathe, clean up or use the toilet. This can preserve physical evidence, in case you decide to go to a medical facility for treatment or evidence collection. - Remember that this is not your fault. This was a crime committed against you and you are not to blame. Surviving the assault took great strength and courage.
- You can decide how to respond; you are the one that knows what is best for you. There are resources, both on-campus and off-campus, available to help you immediately and long term.
Sometimes it is hard to keep this experience to yourself. Talking about what happened, or exploring your options with someone, can be helpful. The RISE Project is one campus resource available to you. All of our services are confidential and non-judgmental; this means we will not tell anyone about your experiences and that we understand this was not your fault. Reach out to us, or someone that you feel comfortable with, when you are ready. You can also contact Our VOICE (the local rape crisis center), the WWC Counseling Center, the WWC Health Center, or whoever makes you feel the most comfortable.
