Bias Incident Reporting Tool (Tacoma)
Bias incidents are acts or behaviors motivated by the offender’s bias against any combination but not limited to identities such as age, ancestry, color, disability, gender identity or expression, genetic information, HIV/AIDS status, military status, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or veteran status.
While these acts do not necessarily rise to the level of a crime, a violation of state law, university policy, or the Student Code of Conduct, a bias act may contribute to creating an unsafe, negative, or unwelcome environment for the victim; anyone who shares the same social identity as the victim; and/or, community members of the University.
This reporting process is open to all who are the University of Washington Tacoma campus: Faculty, Staff, Students and Visitors.
Reports can be submitted anonymously.
For emergency situations please call UW Tacoma Campus Safety at 253-692-4416 or for emergency situations, please call 9-1-1.

Quantitative Skills Tutoring (Tacoma)
The TLC Quantitative Center has both online and in-person tutoring. We offer in-person drop-in tutoring on the 2nd floor of the SNO building and retain minimal online appointments via Zoom on Mon-Fri evenings and Sundays during Spring, Autumn, and Winter quarters. Summer hours are reduced and vary. We are closed during the interims between fall and winter quarters and between winter and spring quarters.
Writing Center (Tacoma)
The writing center staff has professional staff members and student consultants representing a variety of majors. Graduate students or undergrads working on upper-level assignments, applications, personal statements, creative writing, or disciplinary citation styles may find it helpful to work with someone with a similar background.
Graduate students can also access the Grad Writing schedule to work with a professional staff member or student consultant with graduate writing experience.
Multilingual writers can work with any consultant.
Office of the Ombud (Tri-campus)
The Office of the Ombud welcomes the entire University of Washington community* across the three campuses and the medical enterprise. We provide a collaborative and confidential environment to discuss your situation, raise issues, consider your options, and develop a plan for the future.
