Mandatory Reporting Training

Employees of Illinois State University, are obligated to report suspected acts of child abuse and neglect under the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act (ANCRA) and report certain crimes/incidents as required by state and federal law.

There are also many campus and community resources that are available to support those who may be victims of crimes and/or harassment or assault. A downloadable Quick Reference Guide can be found on the website TitleIX.IllinoisState.edu/Resources/.

All University personnel (including student employees) are required to complete Mandatory Reporting Training (previously known as Crime Reporting Training) upon hire, as well as annually during the month of October to better educate themselves on these state and federal mandates and available resources. The 2024-2025 Mandatory Reporting Training consists of two training modules.

New employees (including student employees) will receive an email inviting them to complete Mandatory Reporting Training (MRT) within a fews weeks after being hired and will be required to complete the online training within 30 days of receipt of that email.

Once completion of the Mandatory Reporting Training module is affirmed in the training system, the employee may print a Certificate of Completion from the link provided in the training. This certificate is for your records only and does need to be submitted to the Office of Equal Opportunity and Access.

Training should only be accessed through the link provided in the email sent to each University employee from training@ilstu.edu, and your completion is only recorded in the training system. The 2024-2025 Mandatory Reporting Training consists of two training modules. Each module must be completed to satisfy the requirements. These PDF's are available to review for reference only. The training must be completed in the training system using the link contained in the email from training@ilstu.edu.

The above PDF's are not the official Mandatory Reporting Training. Please log into the training system through the link in your training invitation email.

Failure to complete the training within 30 days of notification and after sufficient reminders will result in the notification of lack of compliance to your supervisor and Human Resources and may lead to disciplinary action.
