Syracuse University has various programs and educational requirements for students with the aim of educating students on sexual and relationship violence, healthy relationships, healthy boundaries, consent, and more.
The campus events include:
National Dating Violence Awareness Month (October)
Join the Syracuse University community in learning more and raising awareness for dating and relationship violence. We hope that you will use #SUGoesPurple on your social media posts.
National Sexual Violence Awareness Month (April)
Join the Syracuse University community in learning more and raising awareness for sexual violence. We hope that you will use #SUGoesTeal on your social media posts.
Prevention Programming
At the beginning of the academic year, students are also required to complete prevention training meant to provide students with a baseline knowledge about consent, healthy relationships, sexual and relationship violence, and campus resources.
- Incoming undergraduate students must complete an online training course on sexual assault prevention and attend Speak About It as part of their Community Wellness Requirements.
- New graduate students, College of Professional Studies students, and College of Law students must also complete an online training course.
- Returning students will be required to complete a U Got This! online training session to fulfill their Continuing Community Wellness Requirement.
Failure to complete these requirements will result in a Conduct Hold, losing the ability to complete class registration, view class schedule, confirm housing assignment, the ability to participate in Fraternity and Sorority Affairs, studying abroad and more.
