SVSH Prevention Training for Graduates

The University of California, Santa Cruz is committed to preventing and responding to sexual harassment, sexual assault, intimate partner violence, stalking and gender discrimination. In order to ensure awareness of graduate student resources and reporting options all students are required to complete ongoing sexual violence/sexual harassment (SVSH) prevention training.  Incoming students must complete Title IX training (to learn about local campus resources and practices) and the online Sexual Assault Prevention for Graduates (SAPG) program provided by Everfi, while continuing students must complete SAPG only. Graduate students that do not complete the required course/s will have enrollment holds placed pending their completion.

Mandatory Trainings for Incoming Graduate Students

Two trainings are required for incoming Fall 2023 graduate students:

1. Title IX training: 11:00-12:00, Wednesday, September 27 (Join Zoom Meeting: Registration Link)

Title IX Training Information
An invitation to the Title IX for Graduate Students Canvas course will be sent to your UCSC emails by October 2. All incoming graduates must accept the invitation in order to complete the mandatory assignment.
