Hazing Prevention and Reporting

In accordance with federal and state law, hazing is strictly prohibited in all student organizations and activities. Hazing is defined as "any intentional, knowing, or reckless action" that endangers the physical or mental health or safety of a student for the purpose of initiation, admission, or affiliation with a student group. Students are encouraged to promptly report suspected hazing to their college’s Office of Student Life or by using the Non-Academic Misconduct Form in ACES under Student Forms. Reports are confidential, and all allegations will be addressed promptly.    

For full details, definitions, reporting processes, and District procedures, review Board Procedure F.4.2.3 .
The Campus Hazing Transparency Report (CHTR)is not currently available because the Alamo Colleges District had zero hazing incidents this year. The CHTR will be updated and posted semi-annually, as required by law.
