Report an Incident

Incident Report Forms are submitted through Terra Dotta. You must have a Terra Dotta account in order to submit a form.

If you are a participant on a study abroad program, a link is also located directly on your application homepage.

If you are a faculty member and/or program coordinator, please use the "Report an Incident" option above.

1. Select the year and/or program in which the incident is taking place.
2. Complete the Incident Report questionnaire, answering all the questions provided to the best of your ability with as much details concerning the incident as possible.
3. If you would like to return to the form after you have started it, simply click the “Save” button on the bottom of the form to finish at a later time.
4. Click “Submit” when you are finished with your report and are ready for the Office of Study Abroad to review.

Staff from the Office of Study Abroad will be notified automatically when a new Incident Report is ready to be reviewed. The Office will follow up with you and any other members of the incident directly, depending on the nature and status of the incident.

If you have questions or are having trouble with the form, please contact the Office of Study Abroad at studyabroad@iona.edu.

Important Note: The use of the Incident Report form on Terra Dotta is NOT a means for requesting or receiving help while you are abroad. If you are experiencing an emergency, dial 911 immediately. If you are in need of immediate assistance, contact your program coordinator who is abroad with you.
