      • Contribute to respectful work and learning environments 

      • Recognize sex- and gender-based violence and harassment 

      • Intervene in situations where harm may be occurring

      How much time does it take to complete the course? Can I complete the course in sections? 

      It takes about 90 minutes to complete all the modules. The course is self-paced so completion time varies. You can complete one module at a time, and the program will save your progress. You can then return to complete additional modules at a future time. 

      Is the course accessible for individuals with disabilities? 

      All videos are captioned, and images have descriptions on them. There is an alternative version if individuals have low internet speed or need a different version for screen-readers. 

      What if the course is emotionally triggering? 

      The course was built to be trauma-informed, but it may bring up strong emotions for individuals who have experienced violence or harassment or recently supported someone impacted by violence or harassment. 

      If you would like to learn about alternative course completion options, contact bella.garrison@seattlecolleges.edu. It is not necessary to share personal details when you send an email regarding the alternative course option. 

      If you would like to seek support related to sex- and gender-based violence or harassment before completing the course, learn about options at the SDC Title IX Website.  

      Why is this course required? 

      SDC takes sex- and gender-based violence and harassment very seriously and expects all employees to do the same. 

      It is very likely you either know a survivor of sexual or relationship violence or will have a co-worker or student share with you their experience during your time at SDC. We want to ensure you have the vital information you need to support that individual or seek support for yourself. 

      If I’ve taken other courses on this topic, do I still need to complete this course?
