Prevention Trainings

Online Trainings

The University provides both student and faculty/staff specific online trainings on an annual basis to educate our campus community regarding sexual misconduct and to comply with Title IX, VAWA, and other federal and state laws.

Students are typically assigned their online training during the Fall semester; Faculty/staff are typically assigned their online training during the Spring semester. New employees take an introductory online training during Orientation.

Currently, the Office for Institutional Equity is developing these trainings through Canvas.

The University of Memphis Title IX: Prevention Program offers trainings throughout the year in both coordinated training initiatives and for invited presentations to student and faculty/ staff groups.

Coordinated training initiatives include visiting all 60+ sections of ACAD 1100 during the “Red Zone,” or the period where students are statistically more likely to experience sexual assault.
