What is Title IX?
Let’s start with the basics. Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in education programs or activities that receive federal funding. In simpler terms, it aims to create a level playing field for all students, regardless of gender.At UCF, Title IX covers a wide range of issues, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, stalking, and intimate partner violence. Even something as seemingly innocuous as an off-color joke could potentially trigger a Title IX investigation.
The High Stakes of a Title IX Case
A Title IX violation can have far-reaching consequences that extend beyond your time at UCF. We’re talking potential suspension or expulsion, loss of scholarships, and a permanent disciplinary record that could haunt your future academic and professional endeavors.Worse yet, a Title IX case could lead to criminal charges.

You're a sophomore at UCF who just received a Notice of Allegations from the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities claiming a fellow student has filed a Title IX complaint against you for sexual misconduct at an off-campus party. You have 10 business days to respond, and you're terrified that a finding of responsibility could result in expulsion and a permanent notation on your transcript.
Can I bring a lawyer to my Title IX hearing at UCF, and what rights do I actually have during this process?
Under the 2020 Title IX regulations issued by the Department of Education, you have the right to an advisor of your choice at every stage of the process, including a licensed attorney, and your advisor can conduct live cross-examination of witnesses during the hearing. UCF must provide you with all evidence gathered during the investigation at least 10 days before any hearing, and you are presumed not responsible throughout the process. We can guide you through each step — from drafting your written response to preparing for cross-examination — and ensure the university follows its own procedures under 34 CFR Part 106, because procedural violations can be grounds for appeal. The stakes here are too high to go in without experienced legal counsel who understands both federal Title IX requirements and UCF's specific Student Conduct Code.
