Violence Against Women Act VAWA

Why Do I Have to Take This?

All colleges and universities are required by the federal Violence Against Women Act to offer this type of training to students on an ongoing basis.

• Participation is not required for students
• However, it is strongly encouraged

This training helps promote awareness and encourages individuals to recognize their role in preventing gender-based violence both on and off campus.

Is This Required to Graduate?

• No, participation is not required for graduation
• Students will not be penalized for choosing not to participate

The training is recommended as it helps students:

• Recognize signs of abusive relationships
• Learn how to support themselves or others experiencing harm

Will This Affect My GPA?

• No, your GPA will not be affected if you do not complete the training
• Participation remains optional but encouraged

Although the training content is not graphic, it may still be sensitive for some students.

• You may opt out of the training at any time
