Online Training

DEI Online Training Courses

Online training can be accessed via the Cornerstone Learning Management System (LMS).

As a reminder, DEIs Training Policy requires all Mason employees — defined as anyone who receives a paycheck from Mason — to take three (3) DEI trainings: 

  • Title IX Overview and Sexual Harassment Prevention, annually (every year)
  • Equal Opportunity: A Fair Shake, biennially (every two years)
  • Ethics, biennially (every two years)

Adjunct faculty and remote employees may satisfy the In-Person training requirement by completing the corresponding Online training, where appropriate.
