UCF IntegrityLine

The UCF IntegrityLine is a secure reporting system administered by an independent third party.  The IntegrityLine is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and is available at the IntegrityLine website, or by calling 1-855-877-6049 toll-free.  The third party case management system provides individuals who may be reluctant to report suspected misconduct through university administrative or central offices a way to report with complete anonymity. The Internet portal never identifies a visitor and deletes the internet address so that anonymity is preserved.  Callers are not traced or recorded.

IntegrityLine reports are processed by the third party and sent to the University Compliance and Ethics Office to address appropriately.  All reports will be reviewed, investigated when appropriate, and responded to as discreetly and promptly as possible.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ABOUT SEEKING WHISTLE-BLOWER STATUS

If you are NOT reporting anonymously and are seeking whistle-blower status under the “Florida Whistle-blower’s Act”, please file your report directly with University Audit. You can send an email to audit@ucf.edu or call University Audit directly at 407-823-2889.

If whistle-blower status is granted based on the nature of your complaint, your name and identity are permanently exempted from public record. This status will only be granted IF your complaint reaches the threshold required to meet criteria for whistle-blower status as defined by ss. 112.3187– 112.31895, Florida Statutes.

Please note that the statute sets a high qualification standard based on the impact of your allegations and not everyone who requests this status will receive it.  For more information about whistle-blower status, please see UCF Policy 2-010 Whistle-blower Determination and Investigation Policy.
