1. Online Training Modules
Please note, there are three required online training modules (AlcoholEdu, Sexual Assault Prevention and Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging).
All first-year and transfer students are required to complete Community Wellness Requirement online training modules, centered on sexual and relationship violence prevention, alcohol and other drugs, and diversity, inclusion and belonging. Modules may be completed through multiple sittings. Using the directions, please complete each of the modules (AlcoholEdu, Sexual Assault Prevention, and Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging) by the deadline. Failure to complete these requirements (three online training modules: AlcoholEdu, Sexual Assault Prevention and Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging) by the deadline may result in a Registration Hold, losing the ability to complete class registration until the training is complete. To complete the requirement, only Part One of the training module needs to be completed by the deadline. Part Two will be available 45 days following the completion of Part One. Please note, Part Two will only take five to eight minutes to complete and is not a requirement. The training modules include survey questions that assess relevant attitudes and behaviors. Your responses will be used to tailor the content of the educational modules that you complete. All responses are confidential; the University will only receive information about the participant group as a whole and will never see individual answers. During business days of Monday through Friday, Continuing Community Wellness Requirement completions are processed within 24 to 48 hours. If this timeframe has passed, please email the Community Wellness Team or call Barnes Center at The Arch Health Promotion at 315.443.8000. Vector Solutions provides an online technical support webpage. Support requests may also be submitted by emailing Vector Solutions.
