Community Education Requirements

Learn more about how to complete online education modules required of all Ithaca College students.

All Ithaca College students are required to complete a series of online education modules to provide important information, awareness, and further understanding on core facets that can impact a student's college experience. As a key component to Ithaca College's onboarding process for students, these education modules are typically completed prior to arrival on campus for new incoming first-year students and new incoming transfer students.

The list of required modules are listed below:

  • Alcohol EDU
  • Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging

Additionally, although it is not a formal requirement, it is strongly encouraged that all incoming students also take the time to complete the Sexual Assault Prevention for College Students module. We acknowledge that we have all been impacted by sexual violence either directly, because we know someone who has experienced violence, or by viewing it in our media. For some, this module may be too challenging to complete on your own.  If you feel you are unable to complete this module on your own, please honor your needs. We will see you at Fall Orientation where we will talk as a group about affirmative consent, bystander intervention and ways we can all contribute to prevention of violence.

You can access these required and recommended online modules, track your progress, and view other assigned trainings by logging into your personalized online portal managed by Vector Solutions using your Ithaca College login credentials. Modules may be completed through multiple sittings and progress is saved. Please utilize the provided directions to complete the modules.
