UMBC Employee Annual Title IX Training Requirement

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 10:47:11 -0400

Dear UMBC Community,

Pursuant to UMBC’s Interim Policy on Sex Discrimination, Sex-Based Harassment, and Sexual Misconduct, all faculty (including adjunct faculty), staff (regular and contingent), and student-employees (including teaching assistants and graduate assistants) are required to complete Title IX training each year.

As such, employees must either complete the outlined series of asynchronous modules or attend a live “Understanding Your Rights and Responsibilities Under Title IX” training session by March 1, 2026.

The training will cover topics such as an overview of the Office of Equity and Civil Rights (ECR), what constitutes prohibited conduct under university policy, responding to a disclosure, procedures for reporting and resolving reports of prohibited conduct, trauma-informed care, confidentiality, and other applicable policies and procedures.

Employees who prefer to complete the asynchronous training modules should review the instructions.

Employees who prefer to attend a live virtual training should RSVP for an “Understanding Your Rights and Responsibilities Under Title IX” session.

Supervisors who would like to request a live in-person or virtual training for a specific time and date for their department or group should email ECRtraining@umbc.edu.

Additional information regarding the training may be found in ECR’s training FAQs. If you still have questions, please contact ECR at ECRtraining@umbc.edu.

Thank you,

Reilly Metzger

ECR Training and Prevention Manager
