Campus sexual assault (SA) policies and sexual consent definitions have not been widely studied. The study team conducted a nationally representative review of college and university websites (n = 995), assessing the prevalence of publicly accessible online policies and definitions and examining associations with school characteristics. A content analysis was performed on a subsample (n = 100) of consent definitions. Most schools (93.0%) had an SA policy and consent definition (87.6%) available online. Schools were more likely to have a policy or consent definition if they were large (=5,000 students), public, or had a female enrollment of =33%. Detail and comprehensiveness of definitions varied. Findings highlight opportunities for schools--especially small schools, private schools, and those with more male students--to increase access to SA policies and consent definitions.
