Maryland requires state employees to be trained on sexual harassment within 6 months of hire and again at least every 2 years.

This is separate from Title IX training.
Required for All Students:
In addition to supporting SMCM employees, “Get Inclusive” training helps to support our students by providing information on Identities & Inclusion, Alcohol & Other Drugs, Hazing & Bullying, and Consent & Sexual Violence. This training is required of all SMCM students. Students are required to complete the first online training module before on-campus arrival. Each subsequent year students are asked to complete online training modules that expound upon previous years’ training.
