Resources for Campuses

Resources for Campuses Addressing sexual assault on college campuses involves navigating a complex landscape of institutional policies, as well as state and federal requirements. To support Texas campuses in creating safer and more supportive environments for students who are survivors, the SASTF curated the following list of resources designed to enhance college campus prevention strategies, promote best practices in handling sexual assault cases, and foster a survivor-centered approach. By leveraging these resources, campuses can better equip their staff to prevent and respond to sexual assault. The University of Texas at Austin's Institute on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (IDVSA) The University of Texas at Austin’s Institute on Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault (IDVSA) helps campuses create safe environments through research and training. In addition to incorporating student researchers into all aspects of their work, IDVSA works with multi-disciplinary partners across the University of Texas at Austin and the broader University of Texas System. The IDVSA Blueprint for Campus Police Toolkit is a multi-level approach to the complex problem of campus sexual assault that builds upon the existing body of knowledge and recognizes the need for identifying emerging best practices. The Blueprint was developed through in-depth interviews, field observations, and a thorough review of the policies and practices pertaining to campus sexual assault. This resource is intended to serve as a guide for law enforcement at all levels (chief executives, investigation, and patrol) to implement a victim-centered and trauma-informed approach to campus sexual assault. IDVSA Bystander Intervention Programs are evidence and theory-based violence prevention. Programs engage and train community members to actively disrupt and respond to harmful language, acts, and behaviors, such as sexual assault, hate speech, hazing, and suicide. IDVSA researchers developed these resources as part of an effort to understand, evaluate, and strengthen the bystander intervention programming offered across the UT System’s eight academic institutions. IDVSA Sexual Assault Response Tools are empirically-based training tools created specifically for professionals who conduct the daily work of combating sexual assault and responding to victims of this crime. All resources are trauma-informed, victim-centered, and based upon extensive research and the accumulated expertise of IDVSA and practitioner partners. National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Sexual Violence Prevention Toolkit This toolkit provides athletics departments with collaborative strategies to support safer campus environments. Clery Center The Clery Center is a national nonprofit dedicated to helping college and university officials meet the standards of the Jeanne Clery Act by equipping professionals with the training and resources they needed to understand compliance requirements. The Clery Center's Resources Page covers topics such as Clery implementation and compliance and the prevention of and response to dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking. Association of Title IX Administrators Association of Title IX Administrators (ATIXA) The Association of Title IX Administrators (ATIXA) is a professional organization dedicated to supporting Title IX coordinators and administrators. It provides resources, training, and best practices for handling issues related to gender equity, discrimination, and sexual misconduct in educational institutions. ATIXA aims to ensure compliance with Title IX regulations, promote safety, and foster a culture of respect and inclusion on campuses. The organization offers tools, policy templates, webinars, and an extensive resource library for Title IX professionals. The ATIXA Resources Page provides an extensive library of materials for Title IX professionals. Resources include case law, model policies, toolkits, online learning modules, regulation publications, webinars, and more. These materials are designed to support compliance, training, and effective administration of Title IX. The page also offers access to training modules and thought leadership on various aspects of Title IX administration and sexual violence prevention.

Forwarding Mail

Standard Forward Mail & Change of Address Moving or Relocating If you're moving, submit a permanent change of address request so your USPS® mail is properly rerouted to your new address. If you're only relocating for 15 days up to 1 year (like going to school or staying with family or friends), submit a temporary change of address request. Getting Started Plan ahead. Although mail forwarding may begin within 3 business days of your submitted request, it's best to allow up to 2 weeks. Mail will be forwarded to your new address as it comes, piece by piece. What Mail Is Forwarded First-Class™ mail and periodicals (newsletters and magazines) are forwarded for free. Priority Mail Express®, Priority Mail®, and USPS Ground Advantage® items are forwarded for free. Media Mail® items are forwarded, but you must pay the cost for shipping from your local Post Office™ location to your new address. USPS Marketing Mail® is not forwarded. Your change of address order only changes your mailing address with the Post Office. You must still update government agencies (like for your benefits, driver's license, and voter registration) and companies (like banks, insurance, online stores, etc.). Forwarding Mail Exceptions & Details (DMM 507.2.0) Where to Go to Change Your Address Choose to change your address in a few simple steps online or visit your local Post Office location. You must submit a change of address request in person at a Post Office location if: You're moving outside the United States You're submitting a change of request for someone else You're unable to verify your identity online How to Change Your Address Online Go to the Official USPS Change of Address® website. Choose an option for either an "Individual," "Family" (where everyone has the same last name), or "Business" move, and complete the form. Verify your identity: Opt in online to receive a verification code or link on your mobile phone. Pay the $1.25 identity verification fee. The billing address on your credit card must match either your old or new address. If your online identity verification succeeds: USPS will email you a confirmation code. Use this code if you need to modify or cancel your request. You'll get a Move Validation letter to the address you’re moving from (your "old" address) About 5 business days before your change of address start date, you'll get a Customer Notification Letter (with your confirmation code) to your "new" address. You'll also get a welcome kit with coupons from USPS partners. Mail will be rerouted to your new address piece by piece. If you can’t verify your identity online: USPS will send you an email with instructions and a barcode. Bring the email along with acceptable photo ID to a local Post Office location. Change Your Address How to Change Your Address at the Post Office Visit your local Post Office location with acceptable photo ID and any other required documents. Request a free Mover's Guide packet. Fill out the PS Form 3575 found inside the packet, and give it to the retail associate. They will use your photo ID to verify your identity, then process your change of address request. Visit Change of Address FAQs Change of Address Exceptions & Details (DMM 507.2.0) If You're Unable to Verify Your Identity To submit a change of address, you must verify your identity. If you can't verify your identity online, go to a Post Office location with acceptable ID. If you can't verify your identity at a Post Office location, you will not be able to complete a change of address with USPS. If you can't submit a change of address with USPS, your only option is to directly contact everyone who might send you mail—people, companies, and government agencies—and give them your new address. Change of Address Requests for Special Situations Submitting a Change of Address Request for Someone Else If you're changing an address for someone else (as their "Authorized Agent"), you'll need to go in-person to a Post Office location and bring acceptable ID and additional documents (depending on who you’re changing the address for): A child under the age of 18: Their birth certificate A person who is unable to act for themselves: Power of Attorney Stop or Forward Mail for the Deceased To submit a change of address request for someone who is deceased, you must go in-person to a Post Office location with documents showing you're the executor or administrator authorized to manage their mail. (Having their death certificate is not enough.) Managing Mail for the Deceased International Moves: If you're going to move outside the United States, before you leave the U.S., you must go to a Post Office location to verify your identity and submit your change of address request in person. Businesses: If you are submitting a business change of address request in-person at a Post Office location, you must have documentation, like a notarized letter, power of attorney, or letter on company letterhead (signed by someone in a leadership role) that shows you’re an "Authorized Agent" who can submit a change of address request for the business. U.S. Military Moves: For U.S. military moves, first work with your command; your AMPS relocation info will automatically be shared with USPS. If you still need to submit a change of request with USPS, you can do so either in person or online. For online requests, if you are moving from a military address, your email address must end in .gov, .mil, or .edu. Important note: If you need to verify your identity in person, you can only do so at Post Office locations in the 50 states and Puerto Rico. If you are outside of the U.S., you cannot verify your identity in-person and won’t be able to submit a change of address with USPS.
