Yes, there is a big difference between filing a judicial charge and police charge. Many college campuses defer to the off-campus police (and higher legal authorities) when it comes to incidents like rape that far surpass the school's jurisdiction. Schools typically do not hire campus security and police to override larger legal authority on such incidents.
As an aside, Google has some examples of forms to file judicial charges for GCers who are unfamiliar with those.
