Required University Student Trainings
At the foundation of every positive student experience is a safe and healthy learning environment. Johns Hopkins University recognizes that education and training play a key role in clarifying expectations and responsibilities. To that end, JHU requires that its students receive the necessary training to promote a safe research, learning, working, and living environment and to comply with applicable laws and regulations, external standards, and University policies. There are three trainings that are required of students prior to enrolling at Johns Hopkins University:
The Sexual Assault Prevention Course is a comprehensive, research-based, online training program that provides essential information and will empower students to make thoughtful and healthy choices. Sexual Misconduct includes sexual assault, sexual harassment, relationship violence and staking. It is important that students take this training to help contribute to a respectful and healthy campus community.
Understanding Title VI: Rights and Responsibilities at JHU provides information about Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and about what constitutes discrimination, harassment, and retaliation Under Title VI. You’ll explore the ways in which JHU demonstrates its commitment to Title VI compliance. And you’ll learn how to report and address Title VI violations.
The Opioid Awareness Course recognizes that the opioid epidemic impacts all people regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, education level, socio-economic status, or affiliation of any kind. In response to this crisis and state legislation, Johns Hopkins University has developed a training on this topic, which aims to ensure our community is informed and aware of the extent of the epidemic, and is equipped to obtain support for friends, family members, classmates, and ourselves.
About the Training
Johns Hopkins University requires specific training courses because we care about student well-being and are committed to maintaining a healthy campus community. The training courses are confidential, research-backed, and tailored to the unique experiences of Hopkins undergraduate and graduate students.
Because the training covers some difficult topics, we ask that you take care of yourself. Please do whatever you need to feel more comfortable, which might include taking breaks. You may feel more comfortable completing the training alone or with a trusted person nearby. It may also be empowering or validating to see scenarios that reflect an experience of yours or a loved one.
