Incident Reporting
On Friday, August 14 through Sunday, August 16, 2026, Office of Information Technology (OIT) will perform various planned maintenance activities and upgrades. As a result, our Incident Reporting process may not be accessible during this time.
The University's Incident Reporting and Management Program provides the processes and tools for reporting and reviewing campus incidents These tools give the ability to create and submit completed online forms electronically. Since the tools are dependent on the type of incident, the information below will help you choose the best form to meet your needs. If, however, you already know which form you need, please see the Incident Reporting Links section below for quick links to the appropriate form. If you have any questions or need assistance please call RMS at 631-5037. Learn why proactive reporting is critical to our campus safety.
If you are unable to submit an incident report (for example, insurance claims) please contact the Office of Treasury Services at: treasury@nd.edu
Incident Reporting & Review
Overview
The University's Incident Reporting, Notification, and Review Program provides guidelines for reporting and reviewing campus incidents. Knowledge of work-related incidents, regardless of type, allows the University to identify workplace hazards and gaps in our safety and health programs. More importantly, this knowledge enables us to identify and implement corrective actions to prevent reoccurrence.
