Frequently Asked Questions

What should I bring to my workshop?

Just bring yourself and a smart device (phone/tablet) with your UNL Event Pass. Your attendance will be recorded through the event pass.

Is this workshop required?

Yes. All first-year students are required to complete a SARV Prevention workshop in accordance with University of Nebraska’s Sexual Misconduct Training Standards. This workshop plays an important role in educating students about resources and their role in prevention.

However, if you feel this program will be a detriment to your emotional health and well-being due to a personal history of sexual or intimate partner violence, please request an accommodation.

I completed the online training; do I need to attend a SARV workshop?

Yes. While we value the time you took to complete the online training, this workshop will give all UNL students a consistent knowledge base about sexual assault and relationship violence dynamics unique to the college experience, resources of where to receive support at UNL, and skills to safely intervene.

First-year students will be assigned to sessions based on their living communities. SARV for first-year students who live on campus will be happening in the Residence Halls starting September 16th.
