New students required to complete K-State ASAP training
As students prepare to return to campus, faculty and staff may get questions about the university's Alcohol and Sexual Assault Prevention, or ASAP, training, which is required for all new students. The training, Get Inclusive: Voices for Change, was emailed to all new incoming students.
Kansas State University is committed to the health and safety of all students. The series of online educational training modules is designed to help prepare college students for issues they may confront at college. It covers important topics such as students' rights and responsibilities; preventing sexual violence, dating violence, stalking, harassment and bullying; bystander intervention; substance use; and acting as allies for others in need. Students under the age of 21 must complete Voices for Change — Alcohol and Consent, and students 21 and over must complete Voices for Change — Consent.
The course promotes a healthier and safer environment for everyone. It also includes information on how to recognize, report and prevent sexual violence. It is designed to help students and those around them make healthy decisions, understand state laws and university policies, and be aware of university and community resources.
The course allows you to work at your own pace from any computer with an internet connection. The training may be started, stopped and resumed at any time, and it will take approximately 60 minutes to complete. Because of its importance, all new students are required to complete the training in its entirety. Students who do not complete the required training will not be able to register for next semester’s classes until the training has been completed.
