Online Health Promotion Courses
To support student success and promote a safe and healthy campus community, UCM requires new students to complete online health promotion courses. These courses are free and confidential, and provide information to help you get started strong at UCM. Each course also provides ways to get help or more information.
Some courses are assigned before your first semester starts, and some are assigned after the semester begins. Not all courses are assigned to all new students.
You must be logged into your UCM student account to take these courses.
To take the courses:
-- Log into MyCentral
-- Go to Students/Academics
-- Find the Office of Health Promotion card, then read and follow the instructions

Enrollment holds for this course are removed by the Office of Technology multiple times a day, throughout the week.

We believe you should have the opportunity to learn in a safe and civil environment, free from sexual and interpersonal violence.

There are three versions: one for first time, first year undergraduate students 23 years old and younger, one for undergraduate students 24 years old and older, and one for graduate students.
This course takes about 60 minutes and you can log in and out of the course as needed. Only available through the link in MyCentral.
Why does UCM require students to take a Sexual Violence Prevention course?
The course helps students understand healthy and unhealthy relationships, and provides information about the many supportive resources available for those who may experience sexual assault, intimate partner violence, or stalking.
Additionally, the 2013 federal Campus Sexual Violence Act (SaVE Act) requires all new students to complete a sexual and interpersonal violence prevention education; this program fulfills this requirement.
Why do I have to take these courses if I'm a graduate student, older student or Online Only student, or if I took similar classes at a different college or university, or when I was at UCM as an undergraduate student?
First, we want all students to understand current UCM policies and procedures related to alcohol and other drug misuse, and sexual misconduct.
Second, these issues can affect students not only on and off campus, but also in person and online, and we want all of our students to be aware of the supportive resources available to them and know how to get help.
Third, these courses are updated each year with new content, and we want to be sure all new students have the most recent and accurate information.
When will my enrollment hold be removed?
Holds are removed twice daily Monday-Saturday by the UCM Office of Technology. Please wait 24 hours after you've completed the course to check to see if your hold has been removed. If it has not been removed, contact the Office of Health Promotion at healthpromotion@ucmo.edu and be sure to include your 700#.
Do I have to be 18 to take the Sexual Violence Prevention course?
No, the minimum age requirement to take this course is 17 years old.
But I am single and don't date, so why do I have to take the Sexual Violence Prevention course?
Even students who are not in an intimate relationship need to recognize healthy and unhealthy relationships in others and know how to safely intervene if they observe problematic behavior. Whether you plan to be in a relationship or not, this information will help you navigate future school and work environments.
Will this be confidential?
Yes it is confidential. These courses have been designed to protect your privacy.
