Respect and Responsibility Letter Spring 2020

Respect and Responsibility Letter Spring 2020

Dear Student,

Welcome to St. Cloud State. Our university is committed to providing a safe and respectful campus environment for everyone. But no university is perfect. Each year at schools across the country students experience problems such as sexual assault, relationship violence, stalking, discrimination and racism. St. Cloud State is serious about addressing these issues starting with educational training right from the start. Here’s what you need to know about this 2-part required training, entitled Respect and Responsibility:

Part I, Not Anymore, educates students about preventing sexual assault, relationship violence, and stalking in an on-line format. Helpful information:

• Please take the content seriously. In a recent survey of incoming students, 16% of students reported that they were victims of sexual assault, 13% experienced relationship violence and 14% were victims of stalking.
• Fully watch all of the videos. This will prepare you to answer the post-test questions with ease and accuracy at the required 85% or above pass rate. If you don’t pass at 85% you will need to repeat the program.
• Learn about the power of intervening as a bystander when something isn’t right. The videos offer creative and realistic ideas.
• If you are a survivor of sexual violence and would prefer to schedule an alternative individual meeting with an advocate, contact the Women’s Center at (320) 308-4958 for information on this option, or email Lee LaDue at leladue@stcloudstate.edu.
• Having issues completing the on-line course? Contact the Women’s Center at (320) 308-4958.

Course Instructions-Part I 

Minnesota state law requires students to complete training on sexual assault prevention within the first 10 days of classes. You are required to complete Part One by Jan. 27, 2020.  At that time, if Part One is not completed, a hold will be placed on your registration until you complete the on-line course. Since there are many activities, classes and events to attend once you arrive on campus, we encourage you to complete the program before arriving.

Step 1: Log on to the Student Success™ at: URL https://studentsuccess.org/CODE/stcloud

Step 2: Under “First Time User,” enter the following School Access Code: 1425683

Step 3: Follow the instructions provided to complete the course. You will be asked to enter your Student ID number. This is the 8-digit number on your Student ID card, not your Star ID. You will also be asked to enter your SCSU Huskynet e-mail address. You can only use your Huskynet e-mail address. Create a password and keep this information until you complete the course. It is best to complete the course all at one time. However, you can leave and re-enter the course as a “returning student,” should you be interrupted, using the password you created. Most students complete the course in approximately 90 minutes. You must complete and pass the post-test by at least 85%. Test questions will appear throughout the program, as well as at the end.

 

Part II,

Part II, Community through Diversity focuses on diversity and inclusion.

Community through Diversity is included in Orientation (Huskies First Four) for new students on Sunday, Jan. 12, 2020. If you registered to attend Orientation, you will complete the Community through Diversity requirement during the program.

If you are unable to attend Orientation, information will be sent to your Huskynet (official St. Cloud State University email) later this month on how to complete the requirement in an alternative way.

If you have questions regarding Part II, Community through Diversity, email the Respect and Responsibility Program staff at respect@stcloudstate.edu or contact the Office of Student Life and Development at                  (320) 308-3111.

Notes:

PSEO, fully online students, those enrolled for courses at locations other than the St. Cloud campus and students who have already earned a bachelor’s degree are not required to complete Part II of the Respect and Responsibility Program. Please email respect@stcloudstate.edu to inform the staff if you are exempt from the requirement. Note: All students must complete part I: Not Anymore.

 

Our goal is to unlock your potential so you can create a life of meaning and a path to success during and beyond your college years. Safety, equity and inclusion for all will ensure an environment that focuses on student learning and growth. As you navigate your way around campus and the community please take advantage of all the opportunities and resources available to you. Thank you!
