  • Here to help

Interpersonal Violence

Like all communities, the University of South Carolina experiences interpersonal violence, including sexual assault, harassment, stalking and relationship violence. The university strives to prevent interpersonal violence and support anyone who has been subjected to or impacted by it. We encourage you to seek help from the resources available to you. The SAVIP (Sexual Assault and Violence Intervention & Prevention) office serves as a confidential resource to provide advocacy services and connect you with campus and community partners to help you determine next steps.

You can get connected to our services by calling our 24/7 Hotline at 803-777-8248 or stopping by the Center for Health & Well-Being during our business hours.
