Massachusetts law requires immunization and vaccination documentation to be on file in the counseling and health services office for students attending ����ֱ��. The ����ֱ�� policy requires all new students to submit immunization records and be in full compliance with Massachusetts state law and the ����ֱ�� immunization policy two weeks prior to the start of the semester. Residential students must submit their forms and be in full compliance with the immunization policy two weeks prior to moving into the residence halls. This policy applies to all new students entering in the summer, fall or spring. Full–time non-residential students continue to need to be in compliance with the immunization policy prior to starting their semester.  

����ֱ�� requires every incoming student to complete three online prevention programs – one for alcohol, one for cannabis, and one regarding sexual violence prevention. These programs are confidential, online educational courses. Follow these easy steps to complete your mandatory training requirements:

Safe Colleges: Sexual Violence Prevention

This is an online, video-based program that provides critical information about consent, sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, sexual harassment, stalking, bystander intervention, and Salem State policies.

2. You will enter your Salem State student ID (with the “S”) and proceed with the SSU single sign-on process.
3. Once you log in, click on the course titled ‘Sexual Violence Prevention for Undergraduates,’ to begin the training. The course will be listed under 'Mandatory Training.'
4. Each course has audio, so be sure to turn up your speakers.
5. The course will take approximately 55 minutes. You must complete each section of the course in order to receive full credit, but you do not have to complete the entire training in one sitting.

e-Checkup To Go: Alcohol and Cannabis

This is an online educational program about alcohol and cannabis. It is an assessment and personalized feedback program that includes Salem State-specific information. Please note: You must take each online program listed below – they are separate online programs. Each takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete.

Follow the instructions below for both programs: 

1. Once on the e-Checkup website, select ‘I have NOT completed the e-Checkup To Go previously’, then select ‘begin’.
2. Complete all sections of the program and review feedback. Remember, this is confidential and only the verification of completion is recorded.
3. After reviewing all information, select ‘Verify completion of your e-Checkup To Go’, input your information and select ‘New Student Requirement’ and submit.
