What are the different types of Sexual Assault reporting?

• A. Restricted
• B. Non-restricted
• C. Restricted and Non-restricted
• D. Restricted and Formal

Answer: (C)

Two paths exist for reporting sexual assault: restricted and non-restricted. Restricted reporting lets you share what happened with confidential SAPR professionals (like a SARC) or certain healthcare, counseling, or chaplain resources without starting an official investigation or alerting command. This lets you access medical care, counseling, and advocacy while you decide if and when to pursue formal action. Non-restricted reporting starts an official investigation and notifies the chain of command; you can still receive services, but information is shared as part of the formal process. The option that combines restricted and formal would imply a single category that doesn’t match how reporting works in SAPR policy, and listing only one type misses the existence of the other path. So the two types—restricted and non-restricted—best describe the reporting options.
