Sexual Assault Prevention Training

 As part of FIU’s commitment to promoting a safe and healthy university community, all NEW students (freshmen, transfer, and graduate students) are required to complete the RespectEdu training, a sexual assault prevention course addressing sexual assault, relationship violence, and stalking. Students are automatically enrolled in the course and must complete it within their first semester at FIU. Failure to complete the course will result in a registration hold for future terms, preventing students from registering for classes.

What's in the training?

  • Part One

    RespectEdu is an online educational course that covers essential topics including stalking, dating violence, sexual violence, and bystander intervention. To successfully complete the course, you must finish all sections and earn a score of100% on each section's knowledge check(s). Once all course requirements have been met, FIU Develop will automatically generate your Certificate of Completion, and you will receive an email confirmation through Canvas Catalog once your certificate has been issued.

    Course Information:

    • Students MUST score 100% to receive credit for the training
    • Estimated completion time: 120 minutes
    • Undergraduate course: 9 sections
    • Graduate course: 13 sections

    Failure to complete Part One of training will result in an enrollment hold.

    Related enrollment holds and To-Do List items will be removed from PantherSoft within 5 business days after your certificate is generated. If your certificate is not generated, we recommend revisiting the course to ensure that all sections have been completed and that you have earned a score of 100% on each knowledge check. If you believe you have completed all course requirements, but your hold remains, please email shwad@fiu.edu with your full name and Panther ID for further assistance.

    Part Two is an optional survey designed to gather student feedback on attitudes towards sexual and relationship violence, campus norms, and personal experiences with these critical issues. The data collected from this survey helps FIU improve its sexual assault prevention and awareness programs.

    • This section of the course is an optional survey
    • Estimated time to complete: 5-10 minutes
