Training Summary for Students
Required training
First time, full time students are required to participate in a Title IX training. This state-mandated training educates students on the interconnected issues of sexual violence, substance abuse, and healthy relationships, to promote a healthier and safer campus environment for everyone. Students who are required to participate in this training are contacted directly by the Student Life Department.
To complete the training, students complete a brief course in Canvas. After completing the training module, students will have to complete a short quiz and score at least 80%. It is encouraged for students to review the questions marked incorrectly after the quiz. For students who fail to complete the training by the deadline, a “hold” will be placed on their MyWilmU account, preventing them from registering for future courses.
Additional training
To help create a safe environment for you and other students at Wilmington University, new students are sent two online trainings through EverFi called Sexual Assault Prevention and Alcohol Edu.
