Online Student Training

Students enjoying thier meals

CSUCI’s commitment to the safety of its campus community and a mandate from the CSU requires all students to complete a sexual misconduct prevention training program for each academic year they are enrolled at CSUCI. Federal law also mandates that universities must require students to take Title IX training on an annual basis. This training is comprised of an online video-based sexual misconduct prevention program offered through Vector. It will be assigned to you at the beginning of each semester and must be completed prior to registering for the following semester. It takes one hour for new students, and 20-25 minutes for returning/graduate students. For more information about accessing the training, check out the FAQs below. 

All current students who are enrolled in classes during Fall 2024, including graduating seniors and graduate students, must complete the online training by October 17, 2024. There will be no extensions granted, absent extraordinary or emergency circumstances (which must be supported with appropriate documentation). Any students who are past due meeting the requirements for last year’s training are also responsible for completing their outstanding assignment by this date.

CSUCI is aware that the content of this module contains questions and situations of a sensitive nature. Please know that there are places on and off campus where you can go to confidentially discuss your concerns. The office of Counseling & Psychological Services, or CAPS 805-437-2088 is available on a walk-in basis. For off-campus organizations where you can seek assistance or advice, please refer to the resource library.

If you experience any problems accessing any portions of the online training due to incompatibility with assistive technology or if you need the information provided in an alternative format, please contact the Disability Accommodations and Support Services office.

Please note that it is highly recommended that you save the certificate you receive at the end of your training. In case of a technical glitch with Vector's reporting, this will be your best way to prove that you completed your training. Be sure if you are taking a screenshot to get the entire certificate.

The below Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) contain additional information regarding training requirements, including information related to data security and alternate options that may be available to you in order to satisfy the training requirement.

  • Students who have satisfied an online training requirement have the ability to download and save a certificate of completion for their records. This information can also be verified in the Student Success portal when you log in to myCI using your  CSUCI credentials. Remember that if you are a continuing student, you will be able to see your progress for both last year’s and this year’s assignment.
  • The length of the module is dependent on whether you are a continuing or new student as of this academic year. New students are required to take a training module featuring content that will take approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour to complete. Continuing students, i.e. those students who have been required to complete online training in prior academic years, will complete a 30 minute “refresher” module.
  • State and federal mandates and the  CSU’s Nondiscrimination policy require training for all students once per academic year. New students will be assigned to complete Title IX training during their first semester, whether it be Fall or Spring. In cases where a student is returning to campus after taking one or more semester breaks, training will be assigned during their first semester back. Students are expected to complete refresher training every academic year.
  • All current students, including graduating seniors and graduate students, must complete the online training.
  • Any enrolled student who does not complete this online training assignment by the due date will have a hold placed on their student account that will prevent them from at a minimum, registering for any courses in a future semester until the requirement is satisfied. Students will be notified if a hold is placed when communications regarding registration appointments are sent out in November for Spring registration and late March for Fall registration.

  • The only way to have the hold removed for failure to comply with the online training requirement is to complete the module assigned to you.

    IMPORTANT CSUCI will be receiving the data regarding student completion of training requirements through its training vendor in a secured, automated manner. Therefore, if you have a hold placed because you miss the deadline, you will not be able to contact CSUCI offices to successfully request that a hold be removed—the campus must receive authentication from the vendor and personnel at the campus offices will not be able to expedite the process to assist you. CSUCI’s internal records will be updated regularly to reflect which students have satisfied the training requirement(s), but note that it could take up to three (3) business days for your completion to be recorded by the campus. Be aware that any related holds will not be lifted from your account automatically upon your completion of the training. It is your responsibility complete the training(s) as soon as possible.

  • Your progress will be saved in each session you are logged in for. Please go to your Student Center in myCI and click on the link entitled “Mandatory Title IX Student Online Training” to pick up where you left off from your last sign-on.

  • The content of this online program contains some sensitive material involving sexual violence prevention.

If you have experienced sexual violence, have concerns regarding this training, or you would like to request an alternate training, please contact the Title IX office at titleix@csuci.edu. Note any alternate training assignments are designed with the intent for students to be able to complete the training within the time period proportional to the length of time of the online module they are assigned.

You can also call them at 800-434-0154. Be sure to provide your student ID#, first and last name and the best way to reach you. You should receive a response to your email within one week depending on volume. Title IX & Inclusion staff are unable to provide technical assistance.

  • No, there are no survey components in the program that ask students about their personal experiences or opinions related to the training topic itself. However, students do have the option to provide CSUCI anonymous feedback regarding their opinion about the effectiveness and usability of the training online module.

  • Federal and state law requires that colleges and universities provide their students with training on sexual violence prevention in their campus communities. The CSU has incorporated these requirements into its Systemwide policies under the CSU Nondiscrimination Policy.

  • Vector Solutions will send reminder emails until the training is complete. You may also receive follow-up emails which highlight key program information.

  • Please contact the Title IX & Inclusion Office at titleix@csuci.edu. Any student can report incidents that occur on or off-campus, regardless of whether they are a housing resident or someone who commutes to campus. Also, an incident can be reported regardless of how long ago it may have occurred and even if the incident did not involve the student personally. CSUCI responds to every report it receives.

  • CSUCI’s Information Security team has thoroughly reviewed the technical components of the training and approved the program for student use based on the strength of the security measures utilized. Additionally, the vendor has provided the following information regarding the limited personal information you are asked to provide so CSUCI can verify your participation:
    All PII and training progress data (i.e. videos watched, tests completed, scores, etc.) are stored separately from actual response data. All response data is indexed via an anonymized value that is linked back to a student via an encrypted key. The only time that the response data is presented combined with PII is during the actual training session while the student is logged in. The combined response data/PII exists strictly within computer memory and is never written to disk. As soon as the student logs out or their session times out, the link between response data and PII is severed. From that point on, no data that contains sensitive information, such as demographics, sexual identity, and religious identity is ever prepared, stored or released in conjunction with PII.
