Consent and Respect Training for Students

What is Consent & Respect Training?

Consent & Respect is an online education program regarding sexual violence and bystander intervention. The course reflects the university’s commitment to campus safety and compliance with the federal Violence Against Women Act and the Illinois Preventing Sexual Violence in Higher Education Act.

Consent & Respect is offered through 3^rd Millennium Classrooms, an online provider that guarantees confidentiality. While SIU tracks whether or not the course has been completed, students’ individual responses to questions within it are completely confidential and are not shared with the university.

Effective Fall 2016, Consent & Respect training is mandated for all students, whether traditional or non-traditional, in on-campus, off-campus, or online programs.  Students will be notified of the need to complete the training via their SIU email accounts on an annual basis.

Students who do not complete the training may have holds placed on their records and may not be able to register for subsequent semesters until the training is successfully completed.

For additional information regarding Consent & Respect training, please contact the Office of Equity and Compliance at odetraining@siu.edu or 618-453-4807.
