Relationship Violence & Sexual Misconduct (RVSM) Prevention for Graduate & Professional Students

 

All graduate and professional students are required to complete online RVSM prevention training. The online training course will be assigned to all graduate and professional students during their first semester at MSU and a refresher course will be assigned to be completed every 24 months thereafter. Students will use MSU’s secure single sign-on to access the course at the Office of Research and Regulatory Support site under My Requirements.

 

The course is customized to address the unique experiences of graduate and professional students and includes several important resources offered to students at MSU. After the online training course is assigned, students will need to complete it within the assigned timeframe. If the training is not completed within the assigned timeframe, students will see a hold on their SIS account and not be able to access important academic information in the Student Information System, including grades, until they complete this training.
