All faculty and staff are required to take this training. 

This training should be completed one time upon employment, within the first 30 days of hire.

Power-based Violence Prevention & Response Training

*Required annually (every calendar year). Deadline is September 30 at 11:59pm.

LSU’s Power-based Violence Prevention & Response Training satisfies the training requirements outlined in both the 2012 Louisiana Senate Concurrent Resolution 107, which requires one hour of sexual harassment training, and in Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972, which requires training on sexual misconduct prevention. In the course, you will learn about your role as a mandatory reporter and review example scenarios to check for understanding.

After completing the e-course, you will be able to print out a certificate of completion for your records. Please save a copy for your personal records, as well as forward a copy to your department's HR Contact for reporting and compliance, if applicable.

Digital Resource and Content Accessibility Awareness Training

*Required annually (every calendar year). Deadline for completion is December 31 at 11:59pm.

To satisfy the federal requirement, LSU has created the e-course, Digital Resource and Content Accessibility Awareness. This course will teach employees about the federal statutes and institutional policy governing digital resource and content accessibility, and the tools available to ensure the proactive accessibility of digital resources and content.

After completing the e-course, you will be able to print out a certificate of completion for your records. Please keep this certificate and follow your department's instructions for reporting and compliance.

LSU is requiring that each classified employee, unclassified employee, faculty (including emeritus and Gratis), other academic, contingent/transient, graduate/teaching assistant, WAE position, and student worker complete the Digital Resource and Content Accessibility Awareness training. As there are many unique classifications of faculty and staff, the unit head has the discretion to determine if a position is entitled to an exemption. Exemptions should be based on whether a position creates or disseminates digital content.

Trades positions, custodial staff, and students (who are not employed by LSU) are exempt from this training.

This training must be completed by 11:59 PM on December 31st each calendar year.

To take this course, visit the 2024 Digital Resource and Content Accessibility Awareness Moodle page. Click yes to self-enroll in this Moodle course. Once enrolled, click on the link that says Digital Resource and Content Accessibility Awareness. Then, click enter.

State of Louisiana ADA Compliance Training

*Required every three (3) years. Deadline for completion is within a supervisor's first 30 days (hired or promoted).

Act 103 provides guidance for the development and implementation by state agencies of policies, training, and reporting relative to compliance with requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Per Act 103, any LSU Employee who has duties as a supervisor is required to take the State of Louisiana ADA Compliance Training. 

Any LSU employee who has duties as a supervisor is required to take the training. This includes persons assigned to supervisory roles over currently vacant positions. Act 103 defines a supervisor as “a public employee or an elected official responsible for overseeing the productivity, work behavior, and attendance of other public employees of the agency”. This includes persons assigned to supervisory roles over currently vacant positions.

All new hires into supervisory roles or current employees who assume supervisory responsibilities must complete the training within 90 days of the hire or promotion/job change, and then every three years thereafter.

Persons who are identified as having supervisory roles in Workday have been loaded into a training course within Moodle. Users should login with their LSU A&M credentials (for those who may hold dual appointments). For users not pre-enrolled, the course is set to allow for manual enrollment by clicking "enroll me in this course" when first attempting to access it.

If you still have a red lock on your certificate or final assessment, it means you still have incomplete activities* within your course.

Clicking on the red lock will give you a list of any items that haven't been completed. Additionally, each item listed in purple is hyperlinked to that activity, so you can just click on the item directly and it should take you to whatever needs to be completed.

*Note: The activities include the book resource located in the Course Overview (the welcome page or the very first page when opening the course). Module 1 of the Power-based Violence Prevention & Response is locked until a participant views all the chapters in the book resource located in the Course Overview.

Some items, like your certificate of completion, need to be manually marked as complete in the course. You can do this by clicking the greyed out check mark on the certificate in the course. Doing this should bring you to 100% completion within the course, so long as you've completed all other activities.
