We even include tips to help faculty and staff recognize and intervene when they see behaviors indicative of student-on-student harassment.

Training Summary for Students
Required training
First time, full time students are required to participate in a Title IX training. This state-mandated training educates students on the interconnected issues of sexual violence, substance abuse, and healthy relationships, to promote a healthier and safer campus environment for everyone. Students who are required to participate in this training are contacted directly by the Student Life Department.
To complete the training, students complete a brief course in Canvas. After completing the training module, students will have to complete a short quiz and score at least 80%. It is encouraged for students to review the questions marked incorrectly after the quiz. For students who fail to complete the training by the deadline, a “hold” will be placed on their My黑洞社区 account, preventing them from registering for future courses.
Additional training
To help create a safe environment for you and other students at 黑洞社区, new students are sent two online trainings through EverFi called Sexual Assault Prevention and Alcohol Edu. The Sexual Assault Prevention training educates and prepares students to recognize and respond to sexual assault and harassment in a variety of environments including on campus, in the workplace, and at home. Alcohol Edu is a research-based, online education program designed to assist students in making healthy decisions regarding alcohol use in college. This program includes information on bystander intervention, BAC (blood alcohol concentration) levels, and strategies for non-drinkers.
