GENERAL INFORMATION: using a software platform developed by DialogEDU, a college, university or security company will be given access to the DSA on-line Training Center that contains various on-line training programs developed to assist colleges and universities with their Clery Act and Title IX Compliance efforts. The courses were specifically developed to provide training for Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) under the Clery Act and Responsible Employees (REs) or Designated Reporters under Title IX. All courses are ADA level AA compliant.

BRIEF OVERVIEW OF 10 COURSES: The Training Center contains ten separate courses that each campus can use, as they choose, to achieve and maintain compliance: 

 • DYNAMIC GENERAL CSA COURSE: A 25 minute on-line training program for all Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) who do not work for the campus law enforcement, public safety, or security department. This course is the more compact version of the General CSA course. It includes “knowledge checks” throughout the course to promote learning and engagement. 

 • GENERAL CSA COURSE: A 1 hour and 40 minutes on-line training program for all Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) who do not work for the campus law enforcement, public safety, or security department. 

• CSA RECERTIFICATION COURSE: A 25 minute recertification course available for all CSAs who have previously taken either the General or Advanced Course. This is a refresher course that will review key aspects of the full version and completion of this course will document training of each CSA on an annual basis. 

 • MINI CSA COURSE: (for Study Abroad Advisors and Off Site Trip Leaders)—A 23 minute program specifically designed for individuals who are advisors for Study Abroad Programs and/or individuals who accompany students on off-site trips (domestic and abroad) who otherwise do not have a function as a CSA on an on-going basis. This course will provide them with a basic overview of the key responsibilities they will have in their limited time role as a CSA. 

 • ADVANCED CSA COURSE FOR POLICE AND PUBLIC SAFETY: (OPTION 1)–A 2 hour and 50 minute course which includes the General CSA Course and Additional Modules designed for Campus Security Authorities who work in campus law enforcement (public safety, or security department, such as officers, supervisors and administrators) and is specific to their roles as first responders on campus. 

 OR 

 • ADVANCED CSA COURSE FOR POLICE AND PUBLIC SAFETY: (OPTION 2)–A 1 hour and 33 minute option is available and requires taking the Dynamic CSA Course (25 mins) and a second course titled Add-on Advanced for Police (68 mins). When taken together, this option is designed for Campus Security Authorities who work in campus law enforcement, (public safety, or security department, such as officers, supervisors and administrators) and is specific to their roles as first responders on campus. 

 • TITLE IX Designated Sexual Harassment Reporter Course: A 16 minute program designed for individuals on your campus who have been identified as Designated Sexual Harassment Reporters (formerly called Responsible Employees), i.e. officials with authority to institute corrective action or other designated employees who are mandated “reporters” as required by the current Title IX regulations. 

 • VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT (VAWA) Course: A 36 minute course that meets the requirements of the Violence Against Women Act as it relates to higher education and provides learners with information related to responding in sound ways to reported offenses of sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence and stalking, including an overview of bystander intervention and risk reduction. The VAWA information is not required as part of a CSA or Designated Sexual Harassment Reporter training for individuals to serve in those roles. However, D Stafford & Associates is providing this content to assist client institutions in meeting some of the Primary Prevention mandates under VAWA, in the event that the institution has not implemented another means of training the CSAs and Designated Reporters in the specific requirements identified by VAWA.
