Beginning in summer 2023, all returning full-time undergraduate students (i.e. sophomores, juniors, seniors), enrolled for the fall semester are required to complete the Continuing Community Wellness Requirement annually.

Saving Training Modules

Training modules only save when completed, they will not save if the training module is still in progress upon exiting. The training may be completed in multiple sessions and it's recommended to avoid restarting a module by completing it prior to exiting.

  • Internet access, a strong Internet connection, in addition to audio capabilities are required to complete the training.
  • Please use an updated version of the preferred web browser, Google Chrome. (Please note, the Firefox web browser should be avoided.)
  • It is recommended to complete the training using a computer. The training may also be accessed using a mobile device.

  • The U Got This! online training includes interactive questions that assess relevant attitudes and behaviors. Responses throughout the training are not tracked or collected.
  • There is a pre and post survey, used to assess participants’ change in perceptions or attitudes following the training. All responses are confidential; the University will only receive information about the participant group as a whole and will never see individual answers.
  • The only data associated with a student's NetID and password is whether the training has been completed or not.

Ongoing education is an important tool in maintaining a welcoming, supportive campus environment. That’s why, in addition to the many existing efforts that educate, inform and raise awareness about sexual and relationship violence, Syracuse University is launching a new annual required online training to expand opportunities for students to learn more about preventing sexual and relationship violence and provide a refresher on relevant policies and resources.

The Continuing Community Wellness Requirement builds upon the existing required sexual and relationship violence prevention training all incoming students complete in their first year at Syracuse University. This training aligns with recommendations made by the Chancellor’s Task Force on Sexual and Relationship Violence to expand ongoing training on these topics. This annual requirement will launch effective Summer 2023 for all returning full-time undergraduate students enrolled each fall semester.
