What is Sex-Based Discrimination and Harassment Prevention training?

Sex-Based Discrimination and Harassment Prevention for Undergraduate (or Graduate) Students is an online learning experience designed to engage students in fostering healthy relationships, support their interactions with others, and prepare them to recognize and respond to sex-based misconduct when it occurs.

Who has to take this training?

At the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, all students are expected to complete the training annually.

Please note that if you have taken this or a similar training at a previous institution, you will still need to complete the training at this institution. If you are taking classes on a satellite or branch campus, you will also need to complete this training.

How do I complete the program?

Instructions for accessing the course are available at the University Ethics & Compliance Office - Graduate-Undergraduate Student Title IX Training page.

Why are all students expected to take this training annually?

The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is committed to the safety of our students and improving prevention and response to sex-based misconduct. This training is among the ways we are getting more information out to all students about the policy, resources, and support services we have available in case you or someone you know needs them. This training also contains information about prevention skills and strategies and offers information to better equip you to support others. Completion of the training also satisfies the educational requirements of the Illinois Preventing Sexual Violence in Higher Education Act (110 ILCS 155) and federal law.

How long will the training take?

The training will take about one hour to complete.

What support is in place if I find the information in the training is difficult or triggering?

We recognize that talking about this topic can be difficult. Please know that we have resources on campus that can support you. If you want to talk to someone prior to or after taking the training module, you can contact our Confidential Resources, including the Women’s Resources Center and the Counseling Center. If you are not certain what support services you would like to connect with, you are also welcome to contact the Title IX Office at (844) 616-7978 or email the Title IX Coordinator at titleixcoordinator@illinois.edu.

I’m a survivor of sexual violence and based on the content, I cannot complete this online training. Are there other options?
