The Office of Institutional Compliance
If you are concerned about a possible violation of law or policy and are uncomfortable raising it through normal channels, use “UReport,” the University’s reporting service. The UReport is a telephone and online system that allows community members to report suspected violations of law, regulation, or policy. The UReport is administered by a third-party so reports can be submitted anonymously.
What kind of Concern Should I Report?
You should report any situation or University conduct you believe violates a law, regulation, or University policy. (But use 911 for emergencies!) You do not need to know the exact law or requirement, or be certain a violation has or will occur. When in doubt, the better course of action is to report.
How to Use UReport:
UReport is available seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
Phone: 1-866-294-8680 Web: https://compliance.umn.edu/report
For more information on University reporting requirements and processes, see Reporting and Addressing Concerns of Misconduct.
