Training Catalog

Provost Nairn sent out system-wide communication regarding revisions made to the Sexual Misconduct Policy that went into effect on October 1, 2018. The policy revisions included a new requirement for all employees; to continually complete training on all OE-related policies. The training referenced in the policy administered by the OE, is titled, Discrimination & Sexual Misconduct.

Read the full communication from Provost Nairn regarding the new training requirements.

To simplify tracking employee training completion, as of January 1, 2019, all employees status related to training completion were reset to “out of compliance."

  • New employees are required to complete our online training within their first 90 days of employment.
  • Existing employees are required to take this training every three years.

There are three ways to complete the required training:

1. You can attend a 2 hour, in-person training hosted by Human Resources and the Office of Equity.

2. You can complete the online Skillsoft training on your UCDAccess Portal titled CU: Discrimination and Sexual Misconduct.

  • From your UCDAccess Portal home page select: "Skillsoft"
  • From the Skillsoft menu select: “University of Colorado – CU Denver | CU Anschutz”
  • Select sub-folder: “Human Resources”
  • Select course title: “CU: Discrimination & Sexual Misconduct, CU Denver/Anschutz Medical Campus”

3. You can request an in-person training* that is specific to your department. 

Note*: In alignment with the University’s concerns for the safety of our community in response to COVID-19, OE staff will be working remotely. As such, we may experience minor delays in our response times. Currently, we will not be scheduling in-person appointments or be available on campus. We will, however, remain available via phone, email and video conference.

You are able to track your training completion status and/or the training completion status of your department staff (if you are a supervisor), via a training summary. 

A training summary is a record of all trainings you have completed thus far, via Skillsoft. Training listed in an employee’s training summary is what the OE will reference to ensure all employees are complying with the new training requirement.

To access your personal training summary, follow these steps:

  • From your UCDAccess Portal home page, select the navigation bar in the upper right corner
  • Select “CU Resources”
  • Select: "Training"
    • If you are an employee and would like to view your own record, click “Training Summary”
    • If you are in a supervisory role, you can select “Supervisor Training Summary,” which provides a summary of training taken for your employees/department. 

Equity 101: What We Do: We cover our offices work and why it is important. If time allows, we include videos, case studies, and other interactive activities and discussion. This training can range from 15 minutes to an hour.

Equity 201: Supporting Survivors: If you are in a role on campus where someone might disclose to you that something has happened to them, this training is for you. We discuss tips on what to say and not say, deconstruct what it means to be a “responsible employee,” and practice how to respond to a survivor. This training takes one hour and is great for groups of co-workers.

Equity 301: Ally Training: The ultimate Office of Equity training! In this training we cover everything listed above as well as a more in-depth exploration of why discrimination, harassment, and sexual misconduct exists in our society and how we can work together to end it.
