Who is required to complete the online training, and by when?
This educational online training is required for all incoming students. It is critical that all students understand the University’s policies related to sexual misconduct and have information about how to prevent sexual violence, how to respond supportively when it does occur, and the campus resources available to students related to sexual misconduct.
Incoming PSEO, first-year, and transfer undergraduates will be assigned the training on August 13, 2024. Students will receive an email with instructions on how to access the training. For these students, the online training needs to be completed by September 10, 2024.
Incoming graduate and professional students will be assigned the training on September 11, 2024. Students will receive an email with instructions on how to access the training. For these students, the online training needs to be completed by October 8, 2024.
All University employees, including student employees, are required to complete a separate sexual misconduct prevention and response training for employees. Students who are also employees are required to complete both trainings.
