Training to End Sexual Violence - Questions and Answers

What is the deadline for completing the End Sexual Violence Training?

  • September 29, 2024 is the cut-off date for completing your mandatory Training to End Sexual Violence for the current Academic Year.
  • After this date, Registration Holds will be applied until the training is satisfied, preventing Winter registration, or subsequent terms, until it's completed.
  • Graduating seniors will also receive a hold on their account and it will remain for up to a year; this may affect graduate programs or certificate programs.

How do I take this training, how often, and what options are available?

  • Login to your myCoyote. From the top menu item entitled Tasks, select "Training to End Sexual Violence". Look for 'Incomplete Assignments' section with the current academic year in the title. There is a 'How To' video on our Training page. For additional details, visit the Not Anymore page. CSUSB has partnered with vendor Student Success™ for a secure, online option.
  • Survivors of sexual assault can contact our office for an alternate, private, trauma-informed training with our Campus Advocate; email iec@csusb.edu for arrangements.
  • Training is required once per Academic Year (August through June) and is taken during the Fall semester.

What if the subject of the Training to End Sexual Violence is upsetting to me or I have concerns?

  • We understand that the subject of this training may be difficult for some, as it contains some sensitive material involving sexual violence prevention.
  • If you need sexual violence survivor’s advocacy support, please refer to our Resources page for a list of confidential resources, on and off campus.
  • If you are a survivor of sexual violence, dating or domestic violence, or stalking, you may request a private, alternate trauma-informed training with Campus Advocate. Contact us at iec@csusb.edu or 909-537-5669 to make arrangements.

Registration Holds Related to End Sexual Violence Training

  • If the training is listed under your To Do List, that is NOT a hold.
  • Registration holds are placed after the deadline (9-29-2024).
  • Registration holds are the penalty because Interim CSU Policy Prohibiting Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Sexual Exploitation, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence, Stalking, and Retaliation, Attachment B, states, “Campuses should impose consequences, such as registration holds, on those Students who do not participate in and complete such mandatory training” (Attachment B, page 5).
  • To view hold information, login to myCoyote and expand the section entitled My Holds. You may also view holds in the Student Center, on the right column.
  • If you believe you have already completed your training for this academic year, please contact Institutional Equity & Compliance, iec@csusb.edu or 909-537-5669 or SH-131, M-F 8am-5pm.
  • If you have to take an extra training as a leader on campus (Greek, Club-Org Officer or Athlete), called 'Campus Leader' and you have not completed it, and you haven't completed the regular student training either, TWO registration holds will be applied to your account, until they are completed.
  • If you have a hold, take your training immediately to avoid Spring registration delays (or subsequent terms, until it's completed).
  • Upon completion, holds are NOT released immediately but only through an automated process within 24 hours. They are NOT released manually by the office staff.
  • To see if your hold is released yet, login to myCoyote, click My Status and then Training Status. Look under the column for the current Academic Year; if the Completed Date is listed, your hold is released. If it's not listed, you still need to do your training.
  • If the hold is not released as scheduled (within 24 hours of completion), please contact our office at iec@csusb.edu, providing your Coyote ID and the details. The office staff will NOT release holds manually.
  • See question, 'Where and when can I verify that my Training to End Sexual Violence is fulfilled?' for additional details.

Who needs to take the Training to End Sexual Violence, why, and are there alternatives or opting out options?

  • All currently enrolled students, including: graduating seniors, online, masters, doctorate, College of Extended and Global Education (Open University and International), Greeks, Clubs-Orgs, Athletes, Resident Assistants, and Employees who are also students must take this training.
  • Survivors of sexual violence, dating or domestic violence, or stalking can contact our office for a private, alternate trauma-informed training option at iec@csusb.edu. 
  • Students cannot opt out or receive an exemption because this training is mandated by CSU Executive Orders and state and federal laws.
  • Employee training in Skillport (EDU: Eliminate Campus Sexual Violence) contains “responsible employee” elements and is different than the content featured in the required student training.
  • We understand some students feel this training is completely unnecessary for various reasons and circumstances. Since it is a mandate, we encourage students to learn how to watch out for each other, their loved ones and the community.

Do all students take the same End Sexual Violence training?

  •  “Not Anymore" Online Training program, has three modules: new undergraduate students, continuing undergraduate students and graduate/post-baccalaureate students—you will receive a link according to your class and student status. Look for the section 'Incomplete Assignments' and the current academic year in the title.

Where and when can I verify that my Training to End Sexual Violence is fulfilled?

  • You can check your status by logging in to myCoyote and click My Status, then Training Status. Look under the Academic Year column; if you do not see any training listed for the current Academic Year, then training has not been completed. Do so by the deadline to ensure a smooth process for Spring registration (or subsequent terms until completed).
  • If you believe you have already completed your training for this academic year, please contact Institutional Equity & Compliance, iec@csusb.edu or 909-537-5669 or SH-131, M-F 8am-5pm.
  • After completion of the online program, there is an automated process in place for the training to populate your record, within 24 hours (it is not immediate).
  • After attending an in-person event, it may take a few business days, because it’s a manual process for our office.
  • Look at our Training page for additional details.
