Required Training
One way to ensure that our students become aware of the importance of the topics of sexual violence and sexual harassment is by having a required training. All credit earning Metropolitan State University students are required to take a training regarding sexual violence and sexual harassment. This includes PSEO students. This training is called Sexual Violence Prevention Training. If you see the training in your D2L or receive a message from the Dean of Students you will need to complete the training within 10 days or the time specified in the communication to you.
Where and when do I take Sexual Violence Prevention Training?
The training is completed online. You will find the course listed in your courses section of D2L.
Do I have to take Sexual Violence Prevention Training every year?
No. It is only required that our students complete this training one time while they are attending Metropolitan State University or another Minnesota State college or university.
I took a different training related to sexual violence and/or sexual harassment somewhere else. Do I still have to take Sexual Violence Prevention Training?
Yes. To ensure that students receive a consistent message, Metropolitan State University requires that all of our students complete Sexual Violence Prevention Training specifically. Other colleges or universities may not have this requirement.
I took Sexual Violence Prevention Training at Metropolitan State University or another Minnesota State College and University system institution. Do I have to take it again?
Students who have taken Sexual Violence Prevention Training at Metropolitan State University or another Minnesota State College and University system institution do not have to take it again. If you have taken it before at Minnesota State College or University, please notify us of this at dean.students@metrostate.edu and include documentation. If you have taken it at Metropolitan State University, you do NOT need to send documentation.
Is this training just a Metropolitan State University requirement?
