Required Compliance Training

As part of working at Vassar and in alignment with New York State requirements, all employees should complete compliance training. These trainings are designed to help you understand your rights and responsibilities while supporting a safe, respectful, and inclusive campus environment.

We are piloting a revised timeline for this training, offering it later in the year along with an extended completion window – through the end of the academic year (June 30th). We also welcome your feedback on the most effective timing and delivery methods for this training, recognizing that it represents a meaningful commitment of time and attention.

PLEASE COMPLETE ALL TRAINING BY TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 2026

You will receive notifications from two platforms. Training Outpost will provide access to the Institutional Equity course on Title IX compliance and discrimination and harassment prevention and awareness, and KnowBe4 will provide access to the College’s cybersecurity training.

REQUIRED FOR ALL EMPLOYEES
