Complete the SHAPE Training

The University of California San Diego is committed to maintaining an environment in which all of us can thrive in a community that is free of discrimination and harassment, including sexual harassment and sexual violence. Federal and state law, as well as University policy, require that all new and returning students receive education about discrimination and harassment prevention once per Academic Year.

The SHAPE training provides education for all students on content covered by the UC Policies on Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment and Anti-Discrimination. SHAPE uses Canvas to deliver an online program that introduces students to our student community, educational environment and behavioral expectations at UC San Diego. Students will be required to take the SHAPE training per the deadlines and information contained below. Students help to shape this community, and we hope that all members of the community take a proactive role in creating a welcoming campus environment for everyone. More information can be found here. 

The course must be completed by October 31st.  If you do not complete the course by the deadline, a hold will be placed on your registration for Winter quarter.
