With the exception of certain designated confidential resources, federal regulations require that disclosures of sexual misconduct made to ANY University employee who interacts with students be reported to the University for the purpose of maintaining a safe environment for all students. The University may then decide to pursue an investigation, whether or not you want that to happen. You CAN decide not to be involved in such an investigation. You may request anonymity, but the University does not guarantee it will be maintained. The UM sexual misconduct policy is quoted below:

"If the Reporter or Complainant chooses not to participate in the University review of the report, the University may, as described below, pursue the report without that person’s participation. To that end, the University will share information internally only as needed to ensure proper handling of the concerns that have been raised, comply with legal obligations, or provide any requested protective measures, and will share information externally only to the extent legally required to do so... Upon learning of concerns of possible Prohibited Conduct, the Title IX Coordinator or investigator will submit a report to UMPD... Even in such cases, though, you do not have to participate in the University or law enforcement processes if you do not wish to do so."

Designated confidential resources at UM are: The Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center (SAPAC), Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), and the Office of the Ombuds. Also confidential are any health professionals or clergy people serving in their professional role. Unfortunately, UMMS House Counselors do NOT fall into this category, and must report sexual misconduct to the University. Community resources (such as Safe House) are confidential and will not report to the University. Again, from the UM sexual misconduct policy:

"...confidential resources will not share information about an individual (including whether that individual has received services) without the individual’s express written permission, unless there is a continuing threat of serious violence or there is a legal obligation to reveal such information."

Provides crisis intervention, advocacy, support, link to counseling resources, link to medical resources (ex: helping you define experiences, navigation through student TitleIX reporting process, assistance with UM personal protection paperwork...). SAPAC is a great place to start when trying to understand what has happened, and what you can do moving forward. Accepts walk-ins M-F 9am-5pm.

OSCR is the official administrator of the University's sexual misconduct policy for incidents involving students. The office initiates a process of conflict resolution, managed by a resolution coordinator, which results on one of three things (depending on what you prefer): "Acceptance of Responsibility and Entering into an Agreement, Adaptable Conflict Resolution (including mediation), or a Hearing." Both parties are involved in the process. More details about the initial process and appeals process can be found at their website. This is NOT a confidential space.

Upon checking into the Emergency Room you will be taken to a private room immediately, and receive quick care from a specially trained Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE). This care may include a physical exam, swabs for evidence collection, and assessing your physical and mental needs. You can choose which, if any, of these take place! By law, the police must be contacted, but you can chose whether to speak with them or not.
