The University provides both student and faculty/staff specific online trainings on an annual basis to educate our campus community regarding sexual misconduct and to comply with Title IX, VAWA, and other federal and state laws.

Students are typically assigned their online training during the Fall semester; Faculty/staff are typically assigned their online training during the Spring semester. New employees take an introductory online training during Orientation.

Currently, the Office for Institutional Equity is developing these trainings through Canvas.
