  22. Sexual Assault and Interpersonal Violence • Sexual Assault Any forced or coerced sexual intercourse or contact. It is a crime of violence in which assailants, whether known to the victim or not, are motivated by a desire to humiliate and/or exert power over the victim. In short, any sexual contact that is not wanted is Sexual Assault. There are four degrees of Sexual Assault in Wisconsin. • Consent Consent means words or overt actions by a person who is competent to give informed consent indicating a freely given agreement to have sexual intercourse or sexual contact. • Consent of all parties is a critical factor that distinguishes acceptable sexual behavior from unacceptable sexual behavior. • Consent is communicated through mutually understandable words or actions that indicate willingness by all of the involved parties to engage in the same sexual activity, at the same time, and in the same way.

  23. Can They Give Consent? Any person… … who is incapacitated due to the use of alcohol or other drugs … unconscious or for any reason is physically incapacitated … who is mentally impaired … who is less than 18 years of age … who has experienced the implicit or explicit use of force, coercion, threats, and/or intimidation SILENCE DOES NOT EQUAL CONSENT

  24. Interpersonal Violence Stalking Stalking is defined as engaging in a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to: • Fear for his/her safety or the safety others; or • Suffer substantial emotional distress Domestic Violence Violence committed by a current or former spouse of the victim, by a person with whom the victim shares a child in common, by a person who is similarly situated to a spouse of the victim under the domestic or family violence laws of the jurisdiction, or by any other person against an adult or youth who is protected from the person’s acts under the domestic or family violence laws of the jurisdiction. (Roommates may fall under this definition)

  25. Interpersonal Violence Dating Violence Dating violence is any purposeful act of violence perpetuated against a dating partner, which may include sexual assault, physical abuse and psychological or emotional abuse. Sexual Harassment Includes unwanted sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. A complete definition, as well as complaint and grievance procedures on sexual harassment, can be found on the Dean of Students’ website (publications page) under the Community Rights and Responsibility Handbook. You may also refer to Wisconsin State Statue 947.013.

  26. Sexual Assault/Interpersonal Violence Statistics • UW System - 2012: Two-hundred eighty-five (285) sexual assaults reported, 153 of which were acquaintances. • UW-Stevens Point - 2012: Nine (9) sexual assaults reported • National statistics indicate that 1 in 5 young women experience sexual assault during college. For between 80% and 90% - the victim and assailant know each other. Half of the student victims do not label the incident “Sexual Assault.” This is particularly true when alcohol is involved and there is no weapon or signs of physical injury.

  27. Sexual Assault/Interpersonal Violence Statistics • Women ages 16 to 24 years of age are most at risk for dating and domestic violence. Approximately 70% of college students say they have been sexually coerced in a dating relationship. • Between 25% to 33% of LGBT relationships include dating or domestic violence, a rate equal to heterosexual relationships. • In a national survey of college women, 13% said that they had been stalked. (In the U.S. 8% of women and 2% of men reported being stalked at some point in their lifetimes.)

  28. Working with Parents • FERPA (Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act) • Now that your student is in college, the ownership of access to student academic records is transferred directly to your son or daughter. • According to FERPA, college students are considered responsible adults and are allowed to determine who will receive information about them. • The best way to for you as a parent to receive academic information is for your son/daughter to provide it to you. At UWSP, we believe that this communication will foster long term growth in relationships. • The University does not have a standard FERPA release form. • Personal Challenges, Crisis, Emergency • Campus Emergencies and Crisis Response • In some cases information may be disclosed with parents if the STUDENT has signed a release with an individual department or unit.

  29. Student Health Services Delzell Hall, 1st Floor • Student Health Service is a primary care clinic for all currently enrolled UWSP students.

  38. Role of Advising Declared Majors: • Today: you will meet with an advisor for an overview of the requirements of the major and to select courses • Fall: your academic department will assign you a permanent adviser (faculty member or professional adviser) Undeclared Majors: • Today: you will meet with an academic adviser from the Student Academic Advising Center (SAAC) to explore your interests and select courses • Fall: you meet with a SAAC adviser until you declare a major

  39. 4-Year Plans Most majors can be completed in 4 years • 15 credits per semester = 30 credits per year • 4 years = 120 credits (minimum) Some majors (especially in professional areas) include additional requirements and may be slightly higher than 120 credits • You will still be eligible for financial aid up to 180 credits

  40. 1 credit vs. 3 credits vs. 5 credits Based on 16 Week Semester 1- credit class = 48 hours of effort • 16 hours in-class (1 hour per week) • 32 hours outside of class (2 hours per week) 3 - credit class = 144 hours of effort • 48 hours in-class (3 hour per week) • 96 hours outside of class (6 hours per week) 5 - credit class = 240 hours of effort • 80 hours in-class (5 hour per week) • 160 hours outside of class (10 hours per week

  44. GPA Highlights 5-credit courses impact your GPA more than 1-3 credit courses Most 5-credit science courses include a combination of: • Lecture and/or Discussion • Laboratory and/or Field Experience Despite your best intentions, sometimes it might be best to withdraw from a course (rather than earn a D or an F) - especially if it is a 5-credit course • The earlier the better…but you have until the 10th week of the semester to drop/withdraw. • Questions -consult with your instructor and academic adviser
