Alternate Title IX Training with CAPE

About the Alternate Title IX Training by CAPE

For students impacted by the content of the required Title IX training

Alternate Title IX training with CAPE closed on Sept. 17, 2025. Please email ovw@csudh.edu to request an alternate option.

All CSUDH students are required to complete Title IX training under federal and California law. For some, the standard online format may feel emotionally overwhelming, especially for those who have experienced past harm.

CAPE offers an alternate way to meet this requirement through a live, one-on-one Zoom session facilitated by a confidential CAPE counselor/advocate. This alternate format delivers the same required content, your rights, university policies, and available resources, but in a private, trauma-informed, and emotionally supportive setting.

This option is intended for students who feel distressed by the standard online training. It is not a general alternative for convenience.

To be eligible, students must schedule the alternate training by September 17, 2025.

What to Expect

The session lasts about 45 minutes
Facilitated live via Zoom
Led by a confidential CAPE counselor/advocate

FAQ About the Alternate Title IX Trainings with CAPE

Why do I have to take this training?

This training is required for all CSU students as part of a systemwide effort to prevent sexual misconduct and create safer campus communities. It cannot be waived, but students may choose to complete it in a format that best supports their needs.

I don鈥檛 want to (or don鈥檛 have time to) meet with CAPE. Are there other ways to manage distress while completing the training online?

Yes. We understand that not everyone is able to meet one-on-one. If you're still able to complete the online training but are concerned about the emotional impact, here are some student-suggested strategies that may help:

Do it with a friend
Ask a trusted CSUDH friend to complete the training with you. You can schedule a Zoom call or meet in person to talk through anything that comes up and support each other.
Reach out for on campus support
If the training brings up distressing emotions, you can schedule an appointment to talk to a confidential CAPE counselor/advocate.

Will I be asked why I requested the alternate training?

No. You will never be asked to explain why you are requesting the alternate training. This option exists to support students who are emotionally impacted by the content, it鈥檚 enough to let us know you would prefer the one-on-one format.

What if I start the online training and realize I can鈥檛 finish it?

If you begin the online training and find that it's too difficult to continue, you can stop and contact CAPE to schedule the alternate training instead.

Does the alternate training cover everything required?

Yes. The alternate training includes all of the required Title IX content, just like the online version. It鈥檚 presented in a trauma-informed way, without real-life scenarios, and is designed to make the material easier to process while still meeting the CSU鈥檚 requirements.

Is the training confidential?

Yes. The alternate training is facilitated by a legally confidential CAPE counselor/advocate. What you share during your session, if anything, will not be shared with the Office of Equity & Inclusion (OEI) or anyone else.

After the session, only your name and student ID number will be sent to OEI to confirm your completion.
