Student Sexual Misconduct Prevention Training

Incoming students and students returning from a leave of absence at all campuses who do not complete the required sexual misconduct prevention training by the semester's completion deadline will have a registration hold applied to their account.

USU understands that students may have difficulties completing the required sexual misconduct prevention training due to its content. If a student has experienced trauma related to sexual misconduct and is unable to participate in the program, they may contact the Office of Equity’s Prevention Team at prevention@usu.edu to request an exemption.

Students requesting an exemption should use the email subject line “Training Exemption” and include their name, A-number, and campus location (Logan, Eastern, Blanding, etc.) in the body of their email. Students are not required to give specifics as to why they are requesting this exemption.

If students include specific details about their sexual misconduct experience(s) in their training exemption request email, that information will be reported to USU’s Title IX Coordinator. The Prevention Team will send students who request an exemption a follow-up email with information about relevant on- and off-campus resources.

The in-person trainings for incoming students at residential campuses will be approximately 90 minutes (1.5 hours) long. The content of the training will be tailored for the following student demographics: graduate students, undergraduate students over 25 years old, and undergraduate students under 25 years old. Audience sizes will be limited, so you will need to RSVP for a training session at least 24 hours in advance.

If you do not receive an email about how to register for a session, please contact prevention@usu.edu. In the email, include your name, A number, campus location, and whether you are an undergraduate or graduate student.

The online incoming student course will take approximately 75-90 minutes to complete. The course will save your progress, so you do not need to complete it all at once.

USU will create an account for you within the online course vendor's system (Vector Solutions). An automated email from the online course vendor (noreply@studentsuccess.usu.edu) or from prevention@usu.edu will be sent to your USU email address once your account has been created. Check your spam folder if you cannot find the automated email in your inbox.

If you do not receive the automated email, please contact prevention@usu.edu. In your email, include your name, A number, campus location, and whether you are an undergraduate or graduate student.

You will be assigned to take one of the following courses based on your student demographic: (1) Not Anymore for Graduate Students, (2) Not Anymore for Non-Traditional Students (undergraduate students over 25 years old), (3) Not Anymore for Undergraduate Students (undergraduate students under 25 years old), or (4) Title IX Essentials for International Students.

After your account has been created, your assigned course can be accessed by logging in at https://usustudent-ut.safecolleges.com/login with your A number as the username and the first 5 characters of your username as the password.

Student organization leader trainings will take place by campus (Blanding, Eastern, Logan, and Statewide Campuses). Members of each organization's leadership team will be required to participate in the training.

More information will be shared via email with student leaders once the sexual misconduct prevention trainings have been scheduled for the academic year.

All students are required to complete an individual student training each academic year. Additionally, student organization leaders, Fraternity and Sorority members, and all student athletes must also participate in an annual student group training.

You can find links to participate in or sign up for a training at the top of this webpage.

USU requires all students returning from a Leave of Absence (LOA) to take the incoming student sexual misconduct prevention training if they did not complete the training prior to taking leave. Resources are added or updated each semester and to ensure students are aware of these updates, students returning from a LOA are required to take the incoming student training. 

You will be assigned to take either an incoming student online course or an incoming student in-person training based on your campus location.

We understand that students may have difficulties completing the required sexual misconduct prevention training due to its content. If you have experienced trauma related to sexual misconduct and are unable to participate in the program, you may contact the Office of Equity’s Prevention Team at prevention@usu.edu to request an exemption.  

Exemptions are not available on the basis of participation in similar trainings in the past or on the basis of scheduling difficulty. 

Students requesting an exemption should use the email subject line “Training Exemption” and include their name, A-number, and campus location (Logan, Eastern, Blanding, etc.) in the body of their email. Students are not required to give specifics as to why they are requesting this exemption.   

Please know that if you include specific information about your sexual misconduct experience(s) when requesting a training exemption, the staff on the Office of Equity’s Prevention Team are considered “reporting employees” under USU’s sexual misconduct policies and procedures, which means they are required to report information about sexual misconduct to USU’s Title IX Coordinator. If students include specific details about their sexual misconduct experience(s) in their training exemption request email, that information will be reported to USU’s Title IX Coordinator. Students who do not want their experience(s) reported to the USU Title IX Coordinator should follow the instructions for requesting a training exemption outlined in the previous paragraph. 

Complete the sexual misconduct prevention training as soon as possible. Students who have not completed their training requirement by that semester's completion deadline will have a hold placed on their account.

You will still be able to access, sign up for, and take the training after the completion deadline, but it will take 12-24 business hours for your hold to be removed once you have completed the training.

If you have a “live” training requirement, you must attend the full training (90 minutes) to receive attendance credit. If you’re unable to attend a full training, email prevention@usu.edu.

If you attend in person, you’ll need to swipe your student ID or manually enter your A-Number after the training has finished. 

If you attend virtually, ensure your Zoom profile name is your first and last name. The instructor may ask you to send your A# in the Zoom chat to help take attendance.

In person attendance is manually updated by the instructor in Banner (USU's attendance tracking system). You can expect an email within 76 hours from the Office of Equity confirming your attendance or no-show.

If you have an online training requirement, your training completion will be recorded automatically.

Incoming students on residential campuses can choose to attend the incoming student training virtually via Zoom or in-person. There are separate sign-up links for in-person and virtual Zoom sessions to avoid confusion. 

Some student groups, including student-athletes and Fraternity and Sorority members are required to train in-person. If your email from the Office of Equity included a link to sign up for a virtual session, you can receive credit for attending that session. 

Whether you are already sexually active or are delaying sexual activity or don’t plan to ever be sexually active, you still need to understand consent and the information in the sexual misconduct prevention training. Sexual misconduct doesn’t just involve sexual activity, and it can happen in any kind of relationship: friendship, long-term dating relationship, family, and even marriage.  

The training is also important so that you can better respond to situations around you. We ask that all Aggies be Upstanders and step in when they see something that could cause harm to another person. Understanding consent and the signs of sexual misconduct will help you identify and address behavior that is harmful to our campus community.  

Whether you are already married or have a family, you still need to understand consent and the information in the online sexual misconduct prevention training. Sexual misconduct can happen in a marriage and it can impact anyone within a family: spouse, child, cousin, aunt, uncle, and other family members.
