No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.
Each UC campus is required to provide mandatory annual training and education to all students, faculty, other academic appointees, and staff about Prohibited Conduct and how such conduct can be reported, per applicable State and federal law, and University policies.
UCLA is obligated under law and policy to provide our graduate and professional students with sexual violence prevention education. Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex under any federally funded education program. In addition, the University of California’s Interim Policy on Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment (January 1, 2022 Interim Policy) requires each UC campus to provide mandatory annual training and education about Prohibited Conduct and how such conduct can be reported, to all students, faculty, other academic appointees, and staff per applicable State and federal law, and University policies.
For more information, visit Policies and Your Rights- Title IX. On this page, you will find the link to the 2021 SVSH Policy, effective date January 1, 2022.
Thank you for your commitment to eliminating sexual harassment and sexual violence in our UCLA community. This helps our larger effort in creating a safe campus environment.
Requirements
Every UC graduate and professional student is required to complete sexual assault prevention training(s) each academic year as follows:
The training components promote awareness and recognize graduate students’ unique position on campus and provide them with the tools they need to play an important role in UCLA’s sexual harassment and sexual violence prevention efforts. The training includes education about the University’s definition of consent, consensual relationships, prohibited conduct, options for bystander intervention, trauma-informed approaches, and risk reduction awareness information. The training highlights resources for graduate students, as well as information for undergraduates who graduate students may need to refer for support and services. UCOP has partnered with Vector LMS to provide the online training.
Important Dates
Any student who does not complete their training by the specified date will have a hold placed on their student account.
The hold will prevent students from:

Trigger Warning
Please be advised that the content of the online training modules and live virtual training sessions deal with accounts of sexual assault and may be triggering. Survivors of violence may experience negative feelings when re-exposed to these topics. Not all survivors of trauma are affected. We ask that students please practice self-care and seek help if needed. If you need assistance in completing these trainings, please contact a CARE Advocate, a confidential campus resource, or visit UCLA CARE Program.
Graduate students who are employed by the University (e.g. TAs, RAs, peer advisors, student employees, etc.) are considered to be Responsible Employees. A Responsible Employee is any University employee who is not a Confidential Resource. If a Responsible Employee learns, in the course of employment, that a student may have experienced Prohibited Conduct, they must promptly notify the Title IX Officer or designee. Responsible Employees are required to report to Title IX upon receiving information of prohibited conduct contained with the SVSH policy. Upon receiving a report of Prohibited Conduct, a Responsible Employee is required to report all details received, including the identities of individuals involved.
In addition to the training requirements, it is important that each student become familiar with the resources and options that are available to them on campus and locally. The Resources, Options and Support brochure identifies important resources for all graduate students, including sexual violence and sexual harassment reporting options and resources. The brochure and additional resource materials can be found in this Box folder.
