Training for Students
OIE partnered with the Office of the Dean of Students to a create videos series called SmartMove UCCS. The videos provide information on sexual misconduct, discrimination and harassment, violence prevention and safety awareness. We encourage all students to watch this training.
Mandatory Training
The "CU: Nondiscrimination, Sexual Misconduct, and Reporting – UCCS" training includes information on the Sexual Misconduct Policy, Protected Class Nondiscrimination Policy, the Conflict of Interest in Cases of Amorous Relationships Policy. The training provides information on policy standards and applicable University, Federal, and State statutory and policy definitions of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and other types of sexual misconduct.
Additionally, the training addresses discrimination and harassment based on protected class status, including several examples for the protected classes covered under the Protected Class Nondiscrimination Policy. The training also provides information on the prohibition on retaliation and the mandatory reporting requirements for responsible employees.
