SVSH Prevention Requirements for Student Employees
The SVSH Prevention training for Non-Supervisors (includes undergraduate student employees) provides information about the reporting responsibilities for all UC employees. Within a few days of being entered into the payroll system, undergraduate student employees will be sent an email to their UCSC email address with the training assignment. The training takes about 50 minutes to complete and provides important information about rights and resources as well as reporting responsibilities that all UC employees have. To access the employee training, login to the UC Learning Center and enter your username and gold password.
For problems accessing the training email learningcenter@ucsc.edu. New student employees must complete the staff training, in addition to the student training, unless they completed the staff training within the past two years.
