Common Questions/Issues
The training is not on my transcript but I was told to take it.
The assignment criteria for STEP UP Against Sexual Misconduct are pre-determined. Therefore, if you do not see the training on your transcript, you fall outside of the criteria and are not required to take the training. Example of excluded populations are: Emeritus faculty, auxiliary law enforcement/EMS/Fire Prevention Officers and certain job codes within Athletics and Business Advancement.
I’m a new employee and did not get assigned the training.
New employees that start outside of the training window will not have the training assigned. The training window starts in the fall and ends in mid-spring.
The course won’t mark complete on transcript even though I got to the end of the training.
This is a Wi-Fi connection issue. If your Wi-Fi drops during the training, the connection between the training and BuckeyeLearn is lost, resulting in the completion not getting communicated. Should this happen, contact the IT Service Desk.
I’m stuck on a page and cannot move.
Sometimes, different versions of browsers cause issues with some of the functionality built into the training resulting in a screen freeze. Should this happen, contact the IT Service Desk.
