Central is committed to providing a safe and nondiscriminatory employment and educational environment that complies with policies relating to affirmative action, discrimination, and harassment.
As such, every full-time and part-time employee, including university assistants, must complete the training sessions listed below in accordance with the university’s Affirmative Action Policy. Please note some departments and groups, such as Residence Life, Athletics, Campus Police, and student leaders, will be required to participate in additional training.
Required Training Sessions
During Academic Year 2023-2024, the university requires all full-time and part-time employees, including university assistants (graduate interns, graduate assistants, and student workers do not participate in this set of trainings), complete the trainings listed below according to the timeframes indicated:
| Training | Mandating Body | Frequency | Estimated Length of Time to Complete |
| Title IX/Cleary Act, and the Violence Against Women Act | CCSU | Annual | 20 minutes |
| FERPA | BOR/CCSU | Annual | 20 minutes |
| Ethics 101 | State of CT | Annual | 30 minutes |
| Sexual Harassment Prevention | State of CT | Every 10 years | 2 hours |
| Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act | BOR | Once | 15 minutes |
| Violence in the Workplace | State of CT | Once | 20 minutes |
We are transitioning to a training schedule that aligns the university’s annual required trainings with the academic calendar, as opposed to the current “calendar year” alignment. The trainings you are required to complete during Academic Year 2023-2024 will depend on the following:
- Employees who have completed all six of the trainings listed above in calendar year 2022 or 2023 will only be required to take the annual Ethics training in Academic Year 2023-24.
- Employees who have not yet completed all six of the trainings listed above since 2022 will need to complete all six trainings in Academic Year 2023-24.
Please note that these required trainings will need to be completed by May 31, 2024.
