Online Student Training

The South Dakota Board of Regents (SDBOR) is requesting proposals for an online, engaging/interactive student training solution to support systemwide student education and compliance initiatives across six public universities.

The system must support training delivery for approximately 30,000 students.
Required Student Compliance Training Areas: The Vendor must provide student training addressing the following federally required areas applicable to students: 􀁸 Title IX of the Civil Rights Act 􀁸 Clery Act, including Campus SaVE Act and Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) requirements 􀁸 Stop Campus Hazing Act
Additional Student Training Areas (Preferred, Not Mandatory): SDBOR also seeks student training content in the following areas. These trainings are preferred but are not required for proposal responsiveness: 􀁸 Title VI of the Civil Rights Act (race, color, national origin nondiscrimination) 􀁸 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) / Section 504 (disability access and accommodations) 􀁸 Drug and Alcohol Awareness 􀁸 Bystander Intervention 􀁸 Campus Safety 􀁸 Nondiscrimination 􀁸 Student Wellness 􀁸 Student Financial Services / Financial Aid 􀁸 Academic Misconduct, including the use and misuse of Artificial Intelligence 􀁸 Student Cyber Safety
Vendors that do not currently offer one or more preferred training modules should not consider those gaps disqualifying. Instead, Vendors are requested to identify: 􀁸 Whether the training can be developed or added, 􀁸 The estimated cost to add the training, and 􀁸 The anticipated timeline for availability.
