Sexual Misconduct Prevention Online Training

The University of Delaware has collaborated with Vector Solutions, a third party education platform offering a variety of online educational opportunities to campus across the country. Vector Solutions has an educational module, “Sexual Assault Prevention for…”, geared toward three groups: Undergraduate Students, Graduate Students, and Faculty & Staff. All employees and students are required to complete this special online training course as part of the University’s sexual misconduct policy. This training was previously referred to as “Haven” or “Haven Plus”.

Topics such as sex discrimination, sexual harassment, dating and domestic violence, and stalking are covered in the course, along with details on specific UD policies and resources.

New students and newly hired employees are required to take this training during their orientation/onboarding process.  Retraining for employees is required in the fall every two years to meet with state and federal guidelines.  Additionally, the Office of Equity and Inclusion offers training classes upon request and when important policy changes take effect.

Please follow the links to the left for information on your mandatory online training, including troubleshooting help and frequently asked questions.

Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in the University’s programs and activities and applies in sexual misconduct cases that include sexual assault, sexual harassment, dating violence, domestic violence and stalking by anyone on University property.

Your Letter:

Dear Incoming Student,

Welcome to UD!  As a Blue Hen, we want you to be all that you possibly can be! That is why we want to assist you in making the most informed and responsible decisions about your health and safety while you spend time on our campuses.

UD requires every incoming student to complete the online educational course- Sexual Assault Prevention. Vector LMS uses video-based “What would you do?” scenarios to model protective behaviors and intervention strategies for students. Additional scenarios help guide students through the process of helping a friend who is a victim of sexual violence. The goal of this education is to increase awareness and protective factors, prevent such crimes from occurring, apprehend assailants, and provide prompt and compassionate support services to victims. We hope that you will gain new insights from this program. It will also tell you more about the resources that are available here at the University of Delaware such as confidential victim advocacy and healthy relationships counseling through Student Wellness and Health Promotion.

If you have any questions or concerns about this course, please email oei@udel.edu or contact the Office of Equity & Inclusion at 302-831-8063. We understand that the topic of sexual assault may include triggers for some students and we encourage you to call in advance of taking the course, or to use the resources that are included in the program, should you experience discomfort during the course.

One resource we would like to highlight is Victim Support through the UD Helpline. If you experience a trigger or are uncomfortable during the course, you can speak with a licensed clinician by calling 302-831-1001, Option 1, (UD Helpline 24/7).  This service is available 24 hours a day, and clinicians are trained to understand the discomfort you may be experiencing and will provide you with personalized, sensitive support.

Participation in the Sexual Assault Prevention online training is mandatory. Please be aware that if you fail to complete the training in a timely manner, a hold will be placed on your account preventing you from registering for upcoming semesters. Included below are detailed instructions on how to access this program. You may begin logging into the course on (Date TBD), and Part 1 must be completed before (Date TBD).

If you are receiving this correspondence AFTER (Date TBD), your personal access to the course will remain open until (Date TBD). Please complete the requirements by (Date TBD).

Please note if you hold employment through the University of Delaware, you will also be required to complete Building Supportive Communities:  Clery Act & Title IX.  

We hope that you will gain new insights from this program. It will also tell you more about the resources that are available here at the University of Delaware such as confidential victim advocacy and healthy relationships counseling through Student Wellness and Health Promotion. Leadership opportunities and organizations including S.O.S. and Men Advocating for Societal & Cultural Change are also provided. There are many different organizations to get involved with; we look forward to seeing you at our events throughout the year!

As a Blue Hen, your commitment to yourself comes with a shared commitment to the health and welfare of others. College life will likely present you with increased opportunities to have an impact on the lives of your peers. It is our great hope that you will choose to do this in positive and productive ways.

Welcome to the University of Delaware!

The Office of Equity & Inclusion

The University of Delaware is requiring each new student to complete Sexual Assault Prevention—an online prevention program. The deadline for completion of Part 1 is within 30 days of the training being assigned to you. A hold will be placed on your account preventing you from registering for Winter/Spring classes if you do not complete this course.

kNOw MORE for Faculty & Staff

All employees are required to take sexual misconduct prevention online training for Faculty & Staff within 30 days of being hired and should be completed at the same time as on-boarding.  Additionally, refresher training will be completed the fall of every odd year (2021, 2023, etc.)  This policy keeps the University in line with the State of Delaware Code Title 14-Chapter 90A. While we understand that some people will be requested to take this sooner than 24 months apart, each individual will fall into the schedule by the next cycle. This is the most effective way for us to manage this program currently.

The University of Delaware expects each employee to complete Building Supportive Communities, an online prevention program.

Troubleshooting Tips

Both AlcoholEdu and Sexual Assault Prevention are programs that we have partnered with Vector LMS to bring to our campus. The University of Delaware’s IT department does not manage these programs and are unable to assist with troubleshooting. If you are experiencing technical troubles with these programs, please try these troubleshooting tips:

The Vector Training Platform is a web-based program that is accessible with an Internet connection 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Platform is compatible with all recent versions of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Explorer,
Safari, iOS, and Android. Despite our optimal accessibility, occasionally users may experience difficulty loading their training. These issues are typically device-specific and can be resolved using the troubleshooting tips below. 

If you are accessing training from a computer:

  1. Restart your browser. Note: On a Mac you’ll need to fully quit the browser.
  2. Make sure you are using a recent version of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Safari. If you have any pending updates, they may need to be completed to move forward with training.
  3. Clear your browser’s cache & cookies, which are typically located under your browser’s history settings.
  4. It is possible that device-specific browser extensions and/or pop-up blockers may be interfering with your training. Try accessing the training from another browser to rule out this possibility.


If you are accessing training from a mobile device:
Our system is compatible with many mobile devices; however, some users may have personal configurations that prevent certain courses from loading. Additionally, some custom and policy courses are best displayed on a computer. If you are experiencing
difficulty loading our training on a personal device, try accessing the courses through a laptop or desktop computer.

If none of these tips work, please contact Technical Assistance at Vector LMS.
