Required Online Programming for Students (Everfi)

Sexual Assault Prevention for Undergraduates and Sexual Assault Prevention for Undergraduates Part I & 2

As part of Mount Aloysius College’s commitment to preventing and responding to incidents of sexual harassment/misconduct, the College requires all incoming students (freshman, graduate students, and transfers) to complete training at the start of each academic year.

To complete the online training requirement, access the programming through the MAC Orientation Canvas portal; log-in with your Mount Aloysius College credentials and follow the on-screen instructions provided. You should have received an email prompting you to complete these courses. Alternatively, you may click this link to login using your Mount Aloysius email and password. Once you are finished, you should receive an email confirming your completion and should retain a copy of it for your records.

Failure to complete these programs prior to November 1, 2022 will result in a hold on your student account, which will prevent you from being able to register for courses.

Individuals who fill certain roles in the Title IX Grievance Procedure must receive training to ensure awareness of their compliance obligations and in order to best provide equitable treatment to Reporters and Respondents and be compliant with the Grievance Procedures required by Title IX. These individuals are the Title IX Coordinator, Deputy Coordinators, Investigators, Decision Makers (including appellate decision makers), and any person facilitating an Alternative Resolution Process. Training subjects must include: the definition of Sexual Harassment as proscribed by the Title IX regulations; the scope of the College’s education program or activity; how to conduct an Investigation and Grievance Process including Hearings, Appeals, and informal resolution processes, as applicable. Additionally, the Decision Maker(s) must receive training on any technology to be used at a live hearing and on issues of relevance of questions and evidence, including when questions and evidence about the Reporter’s sexual predisposition or prior sexual behavior are not relevant. Investigators must also receive the appropriate training needed to create an investigative report that fairly summarizes relevant evidence.

Further, any individual designated by Mount Aloysius College as a Title IX Coordinator, Investigator, Decision Maker, or any person facilitating an Alternative Resolution Process, will not have a conflict of interest or bias for or against Reporters or Respondents generally or an individual Reporter or Respondent. They will also be required to receive training on how to serve impartially, including by avoiding prejudgment of the facts at issue, conflicts of interest, and bias. Any materials used to train Title IX Coordinator, investigators, Decision-makers, and any person facilitating an Alternative Resolution Process must not rely on sex stereotypes and must promote impartial investigations and adjudications of Formal Complaints of Sexual Harassment. Any training materials on these subjects will be publicly shared in the manner described below.

The Title IX regulations (34 C.F.R. part 106) further requires Mount Aloysius College to make publicly available information on these trainings starting August 14, 2020. A list of training sessions attended by these individuals is available. These training sessions are both internal and external training. The list includes the materials used in the training, all of which are provided for public review. These materials will be kept for seven years and can be accessed through the button below.

Title IX Personnel Training Materials

In response to 34 CFR Part 106.45(b)(10) of the 2020 Title IX Final Rule that mandates the public sharing of materials used to train school and college Title IX personnel members, the College will continue to post access to training materials through this website to the extent necessary to comply with Title IX.
