Student Training
In order to make sure students know their rights and responsibilities, multiple trainings are offered to all students annually in addition to regular, specialized trainings for specific populations of students. Each enrolled student is required to complete a Title IX training each academic year according to Page 5 within Attachment B of CSU's Nondiscrimination Policy
.
Beginning in Fall 2023, all students will complete their annual training in Canvas. Please view instructions for accessing the Canvas course in the applicable expandable section below.
Technical Difficulties and Canvas Support
If you are experiencing issues with your assigned Canvas course, please call the Canvas support hotline at 855-302-7528 or chat with Canvas support by clicking the "Help" button in the blue left-hand navigation bar from within Canvas.
Alternative Formats
Any student who finds the content of the assigned online course difficult or upsetting has the opportunity to request an alternative format for the training, which can be conducted via Zoom, in person, over the phone, or through another medium that best fits the student's needs. The alternative format takes the same amount of time to complete as the self-paced course and must be scheduled with a member of Title IX and Gender Equity. To request to join an alternative format Zoom webinar for the annual Title IX student training, please email titleix@fullerton.edu
before your training deadline.
The alternative format is offered out of consideration for the sensitive course content, but it is not designed as a replacement for students having technical difficulties. Canvas Support offers tech help at 855-302-7528.
All Students in Fall 2023 and All New/Incoming Students in Spring 2024
All students must complete an online training within the first few weeks of starting classes. This includes first-time freshmen, returning students, transfers, international students, graduate students, and extended education students. The training requirement applies to every CSUF student enrolled in at least one course across all academic programs regardless of whether their classes are online, in person, or hybrid. There are separate courses for returning students and new students. All students will assigned the appropriate self-paced course in Canvas. Failure to complete the training on Canvas will result in portal restriction and a registration hold being placed on students' accounts.
If Spring 2024 is your first semester at CSUF or your first semester in a new academic program, you are assigned the Spring 2024 New Student Title IX Training. The Spring 2024 deadline is March 5, 2024.
Students will receive emails regarding the online training to their CSUF email address, and they will be automatically enrolled in the online Canvas course.

How to Lift a Title IX Hold
If you have a Title IX Training registration hold on your student account that is noted in your Student Center, that means that you have an overdue Title IX training that you must complete before you can register for classes or otherwise change your class schedule. Please click on the hold on your Student Center for more information about how to complete the training. If your hold has a start date prior to 01/01/2023, you will need to contact the Title IX and Gender Equity office to be assigned a training in Canvas to complete. Please email titleix@fullerton.edu with your first and last time, campuswide ID number (CWID), and when your hold was placed on your account. You will then be assigned a Canvas course to complete in order to lift your hold. Staff will provide you all necessary instructions. You may also call 657-278-2121 between 8:00am-5:00pm Mondays through Fridays (except holidays) to request access to a Canvas course and/or request information about how to lift your hold.
