ATTENTION FIRST YEAR STUDENTS:

The Minnesota Campus Sexual Assault law requires that new students at the university (PSEO, first-year and transfer students) receive training on sexual misconduct awareness within the first ten days of beginning classes.  This training is consistent with our continuing effort to prevent sexual misconduct, to raise awareness and understanding about sexual misconduct, and to foster a community in which members value each other’s rights in this area. The training we require of all new students is an on-line training course on sexual misconduct that examines sexual misconduct, bystander intervention, and risk reduction.

The sexual misconduct training module for students is listed as a course under “My Courses” in Canvas (your student portal). The course is called “U Got This! (College)”.  We estimate that this course will take you 40-45 minutes to complete. You can work at your own pace from any computer.  If this course is not showing up in your student portal, please let the Help Desk know at helpdesk@smumn.edu or 507-457-7800.

To access the training, click the course and enter any requested information.

We encourage you to complete this training as soon as possible.  Students who complete the training by September 2, 2022 will be entered into a drawing for a $10 gift certificate to the Cardinal Club and/or Market. Five of these prizes will be awarded.

If you have questions, please contact the Title IX Coordinator at  TitleIX@smumn.edu.
