CSU Learn Mandatory Trainings 

For Incoming and Returning Students 

The CSU’s Chancellor’s Office requires new incoming freshmen, transfer students, graduate students and international students to complete Title IX online training. It provides information on identifying, reporting and prevention of campus sexual violence, and sets the base from which the community can build to ensure a safe campus environment for all. 

To access the training, click the link sent to you in a notification email OR go to CSU Learn, select San Francisco campus from the drop-down menu, login with your SFSU credentials and click ‘Assigned Learning’.  

To request alternative trainings or if you have questions, email prevention@sfsu.edu.

FAQs for Employees

All SFSU employees are required to complete annual trainings for both Discrimination and Sexual Harassment Prevention and Gender Equity and Title IX trainings.

While on professional leave, you can disregard the notices, but you will be required to complete the training upon your return. If you are on sabbatical, you are still required to complete the training. 

Contact your supervisor if you receive this message. Your department will need to send Human Resources an updated ETRAC regarding your employment expiration date in order for you to have access to the training. You can also try accessing the course through CSU Learn, as sometimes the link embedded in the notification email may be prompting the error message.
