For Campuses & Student Affairs

Proactive digital safety for your students

Students form relationships online long before your campus knows those connections exist. Cray gives Title IX, Student Affairs, and Campus Safety teams a prevention layer that works before incidents — not after.

What Partner Campuses Say

From a campus that ran the program

Distributed Cray safety kits during RA training, campus safety tabling events, and a Halloween safety event.

“

The Cray materials were a huge hit on our campus, and we've actually distributed everything already. The items were great conversation starters and helped us engage students in meaningful discussions about campus safety, healthy relationships, and relationship red flags. Please keep us in mind in the future if you're ever distributing additional materials to campuses.”

Glory Patterson, MPH, CHES

Health Promotion & Outreach Coordinator, New College of Florida

The Prevention Gap

Your resources start after harm. Cray starts before.

"The question is not whether your students are meeting strangers online. They are. The question is whether they can recognize danger when they see it."

Most institutions have strong response systems: Title IX offices, reporting channels, support services. What's harder to fund and staff is structured prevention — programming that teaches students to recognize manipulation, coercion, and exploitation before a situation escalates into a reportable incident.

Cray closes that gap with a tool students actually use: private, research-backed reflection that scores 74 red flags across 18 behavior categories — for dating, friendships, and roommate situations alike — plus ready-to-run campus programming that meets students where they are.

What Partner Campuses Get

Everything you need to run prevention programming

The Campus Digital Safety Playbook

The free institutional resource covering digital relationship safety, online manipulation tactics, student engagement strategies, and awareness campaign ideas.

Orientation-ready programming

Turnkey workshop materials — including the "Red Flag or Nah?" facilitation guide with real scenarios — built for orientation, residence life, and Greek life sessions.

The app, free for students

Every student gets Cray's core safety tools at no cost — CrayScore™, SchemerScore™, and educational content that builds awareness that lasts past graduation.

Red Flag Academy

Programming that runs itself

Red Flag Academy is Cray's content studio, and everything it makes is free, clean, and built to drop into a room full of students with zero prep. Play a track, screen an episode, or deal out the game, then let them argue.

🎸 Red Flag Rock

A 16-track album with one song for every red flag, from DARVO to trauma bonding. Play a song, ask the room to name the tactic. Streaming everywhere.

🎬 It's Not Always This Obvious

Animated comedy shorts under two minutes, one red flag per episode, turned all the way up. Built for the first five minutes of an RA meeting or orientation session.

🚩 Red Flag or Nah? + the Glossary

The live game with a free 53-scenario handout, backed by an 84-term glossary your students can cite. More than 100 UT Panhellenic members played it in October.

Cray Certified

The 35-minute course with a certificate your office can file

Cray Certified is a short course on recognizing manipulation and unhealthy relationship patterns: five red flags, six blind spots, the digital versions, and how to help a friend. Members watch four videos hosted by Crayvon, pass a 14-question final, and receive a certificate with a number and a one-year expiry. The course is aligned to the prevention-programming elements in 34 CFR 668.46(j) and supplements your institution's own Title IX and Clery training.

What members do

Watch four short videos in one sitting, play Red Flag or Nah in every segment, pass the final, and post the certificate. The animated host is why 18 to 24 year olds finish it.

What advisors get

A completion report for their group, numbered certificates with an expiry date, and a 45-minute facilitation kit so the course runs as a meeting, not homework.

What directors get

A pre/post number by population, an alignment sheet to the 668.46(j) elements, a Campus pack built from your Annual Security Report, and reporting you can file.

Chapters and councils start this fall. Campus programs open in January 2027, when we present at NASPA Strategies as a Silver Sponsor.

How schools work with Cray

Start free. License the course when you're ready.

Two things a campus can get from Cray: free materials any office can run next week, and Cray Certified, the course your campus licenses. Most schools start with the free kit and a Certified pilot for one group.

A digital dating safety program built for higher education

The Campus Digital Safety Playbook is a free institutional toolkit for universities and colleges working to protect students from the risks of digitally initiated relationships — the dating-app matches, DMs, and online introductions that turn into real, in-person meetings. It’s built for the people responsible for student safety: Title IX coordinators, deans of students, orientation and new-student directors, residence life teams, and health and wellness offices.

Most campus safety programming is designed to respond to what happens during or after an incident. Title IX handles policy and reporting, bystander intervention covers in-person social settings, and counseling and student health support students afterward. Very little addresses the moment before — the point where a student decides to meet someone they only know online. That’s the gap this Playbook is built to close.

The need isn’t hypothetical. According to Pew Research Center, 71% of online daters say it’s very common for people to lie about themselves to appear more desirable(source) — and today’s students meet, screen, and vet potential partners almost entirely through their phones. The Playbook gives your campus a practical, research-informed way to teach students how to recognize red flags, verify who they’re actually talking to, and plan safer first meetings.

What’s inside

Ten ready-to-use documents span three audiences: a liability risk assessment and benchmark report for presidents and provosts; a plug-and-play orientation module, red-flag recognition guide, and scenario bank for student life teams and RAs; and a Title IX white paper, disclosure framework, and Annual Security Report language for compliance. Everything is designed to drop into programming you already run — orientation tabling, residence hall workshops, Greek life education, and new-student onboarding.

Start free, with no contract

Getting started takes one email. Through the free Campus Ally tier, your institution receives over $2,500 in included resources at no cost — the full Playbook, the Campus Launch Kit (a rollout guide, 36 weeks of ready-to-run social media programming, posters, and launch graphics), starter promotional materials, and a waived onboarding registration fee for schools that register through this page. There’s no technical lift and no long-term commitment. Download the full Playbook, review it with your team, and decide whether to expand from there.

Campus FAQ

What administrators ask us

How does Cray support Title IX programs?

Cray extends the prevention education your office already runs into the digital-relationship space campus programming rarely reaches. Students learn to recognize manipulation and coercion patterns in online-initiated relationships — and every material is built to drop into the prevention programming you already deliver.

How does Cray fit into our risk management?

Cray gives your institution documented, structured prevention programming — materials, workshops, and student resources that make your digital-safety efforts concrete and consistent. How that factors into your overall risk posture is a determination for your counsel; our role is making prevention visible and easy to run.

What does it cost to get started?

Nothing to start. Campus Ally is free and includes the Campus Digital Safety Playbook, the Campus Launch Kit, a starter box on request, three Cray Certified preview passes for staff, and the free app for every student. No contract. When you are ready to train people, Cray Certified is $7,500 a year for one group of up to 500 completions, and campus licenses start at $15,000 a year by enrollment.

How do students get the app?

Cray is free to download on iOS and Android, with a web version at app.cray.app — no institutional rollout or IT integration required.
