Mandatory TITLE IX SHAPE (“Sexual Harassment and Anti-Discrimination Prevention Education”) TRAINING
The UC Sexual Violence and Harassment, Anti-Discrimination, Prevention and Education (SHAPE) course is available for students to complete through Bruin Learn.
You can access the required TITLE IX SHAPE Training under “COURSES” in Bruin Learn. The Title IX SHAPE Training includes the following three (3) required modules:
- The Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment (SVSH) Prevention Training.
- The Anti-Discrimination Policy and FAQ.
- The final test, which you must complete with an 8 out of 8; and achieve 100% on the Quiz.
You must complete ALL THREE (3) MODULES with 100% on the QUIZ to meet compliance requirements!
All students must complete the Sexual Violence and Harassment, Anti-Discrimination, Prevention and Education (SHAPE) training as required by the University of California. The deadline for Fall 2026 students to complete the required training is October 30, 2026. Also, continuing students that completed SHAPE Training in Winter or Spring Quarter of the prior academic year are expected to complete this year’s training by the October 30, 2026, deadline.
Failure to complete the SHAPE Training by the REQUIRED DUE DATE will result in a Title IX Hold being placed on your student account. This Hold will prevent access to key services including registration, enrollment, and recreational facilities. Holds are lifted electronically within 2-3 business days after you complete the required SHAPE Training.
Please Note: SHAPE Training requirements for students are separate from other required training courses related to specific campus roles (e.g., Intercollegiate Athletics, student employee positions, graduate student researchers, TAs, etc.). Students who are also University Employees must complete two (2) trainings: one as a student and one as an employee.
UCLA is committed to maintaining a safe and respectful campus environment, free from sex discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual violence. As part of this commitment, all UC students are required to complete the SHAPE course.
