Sexual Assault Prevention Training

Sexual Assault Prevention Training
Required for New Law Students (JD & MSL)

Overview

As part of our sexual assault prevention program for Roger Williams Law School, you are required to complete a two-part, online Sexual Assault Prevention training. This training will empower you to make well-informed decisions about issues that affect your years at Roger Williams Law School and will assist our efforts to create an environment safe from sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, sexual harassment, and stalking. Roger Williams University partners with EverFi, whose mission is to help students address critical life skills such as sexual assault prevention in higher education institutions across the country. Each year over 1.5 million students and employees complete these courses.

The online training (Part 1) will take approximately 45 minutes to complete, and must be completed by August 14, 2020. You will be able to tell that you are complete with Part 1 when your dashboard course status reads “Intersession”. You will receive a brief follow-up survey email invitation (Part 2) approximately 30-45 days later. This second part will take less than 10 minutes and must be completed by October 7, 2020.
