The Office of Title IX is pleased to offer the online course Sexual Assault Prevention for Graduate Students. The course was developed specifically for Graduate Students by Vector Solutions.
While completion of the Sexual Assault Prevention course is not mandatory, we highly recommend that you complete this course annually.
The course is interactive and contains challenging and interesting real-life situations in an academic setting. The course uses video based “What would you do?” scenarios to model protective behaviors and intervention strategies for students. We hope that you will gain new insights from this program and gain a deeper understanding of the resources that are available here at the University of Tennessee and the greater Knoxville community.
We recognize that the material in the course may be difficult for some individuals as it includes content and examples of sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, and stalking. If you cannot complete this course or would like to receive the information in an alternate format, don’t hesitate to contact the Office of Title IX at titleix@utk.edu or call 865-974-9600.
