A hold will be placed on all student accounts that do not complete the requirements, stopping them from registering for courses in the next quarter.
Incoming Undergraduates (first-year and transfer) must complete TWO SVSH requirements

In order to complete this mandatory assignment, in addition to attending the webinar, all incoming undergraduates must pass a quiz based on the material presented in the presentation.

Students who missed the live webinar must view the video makeup and pass the quiz. See below for an alternative training option.
Sexual Assault Prevention (SAP)-online program
Incoming undergraduates must ALSO complete Sexual Assault Prevention (SAP) created by Vector Solutions. Sexual Assault Prevention (SAP) is part of the We Are Slugs! curriculum for all incoming undergraduates and is one of three required online programs. For more information visit weareslugs.com.
Returning undergraduates must complete one SVSH requirement
- Online Sexual Assault Prevention (SAP) program: A link to completing this requirement will be emailed to your school address by the first week of classes. You must watch one video and complete the quiz at the end. Not completing this requirement will lead to a hold being placed on your account, preventing you from registering for the next quarter.
Alternative Training Option
Survivors of sexual violence can request an alternative training option by emailing the confidential CARE Office at care@ucsc.edu. Please include the name of the training that you were assigned, your student id number, and UCSC email address.
