Trainings

To enhance the safety and well-being of the Ohio State community, all Ohio State faculty, staff and students are required to complete sexual misconduct prevention education each academic year.

This prevention education addresses sexual misconduct, including sexual assault, sexual harassment, relationship violence, and stalking, provides tools to challenge and report harmful behavior, and information on how to support someone who has experienced sexual misconduct.

Promoting the safety and well-being of our students, faculty, and staff is Ohio State's top priority and a responsibility we all share. At Ohio State, there is no place for sexual misconduct or discrimination of any kind.


Faculty, staff, and student employee requirements:

All employees: Annually, all faculty, staff, and student employees are required to complete the sexual misconduct prevention online course, “Report = Support!” The interactive, easy-to-follow course takes about 30 minutes to complete and is available in BuckeyeLearn. It will be assigned to every employee’s BuckeyeLearn transcript each year.

“Report = Support!” will be assigned to all faculty, staff and student employee BuckeyeLearn transcripts and the completion deadline is April 28, 2023.

It is important for everyone to know how to identify and report sexual misconduct.

All Ohio State employees, including student employees, are required to complete this course each academic year to fulfill the mandatory requirement and remain up-to-date on reporting obligations and resources.

Some colleges and units may also choose to annually require the training (which can be completed online in a 30-minute-module), in addition to “Report = Support!.” Each employees’ BuckeyeLearn transcript will reflect the training required for your role. Wexner Medical Center employees can also view education requirements on OneSource.

Student employees/graduate assistants/employees enrolled in classes: Student employees and employees enrolled in classes are required to complete obligations for both their student roles and employee roles. Required trainings will be reflected on their BuckeyeLearn transcripts.

  1. All employees, including student employees, need to annually complete “Report = Support!” each year they are employed by the university.
  2. All students and employees enrolled in classes are required to complete “U Got This!/U Got This 2!” the student sexual misconduct prevention education online course.

Employee Accountability: Any merit-eligible employee (staff and faculty) who does not complete the assigned course* by April 28, 2023, will not be eligible if annual merit increases are available this year. Employees not eligible for the merit process and collective bargaining employees will be subject to corrective action for non-completion in accordance with university policy, procedure, and collective bargaining agreements when applicable.
