Supportive Measures

Supportive measures are non-disciplinary, non-punitive individualized services offered as appropriate, as reasonably available, and without fee or charge to the Complainant or the Respondent before or after filing a formal complaint or where no formal complaint has been filed. Such measures are designed to restore or preserve equal access to Pepperdine's education programs or activities without unreasonably burdening the other party, including measures designed to protect the safety of all parties or the University's educational environment or deter Sexual Misconduct.

• Changing class schedules, including the ability to transfer course sections or withdraw from a course without penalty
