Mandated Workshops

Students attending CAR


SUNY Cortland provides New York State mandated workshops for SUNY Cortland students:

                • Child Abuse Recognition and Reporting (CAR - workshop fee $35)
                • Dignity for All Students Act (DASA - workshop fee $100)
                • School Violence Prevention and Intervention (SAV - workshop fee $35) 
All workshops will be virtual.

Once enrolled, the information will be emailed shortly before the scheduled workshop date. 

Please take note of the following:

  • We are unable to move students from the registered date. Any changes must be done during a Drop/Add only!
  • Workshop registration must occur during the normal on-line registration period or during Drop/Add period through the Registrar's Office, using myRedDragon and going to the student tab (not in Schedule Builder).
  • Course fees are not refundable. Other enrollment and fee deadlines will apply, and appear in course notes.
  • Failure to attend will result in you receiving a "NC" = No Credit. You will be required to re-register for another workshop (based on availability) at the original fee, during a Drop/Add only (when re-registering for a missed workshop - you must contact the FESP Office to have a repeat flag lifted).
  • If you have registered for all three workshops - the DASA workshop is the only workshop that you will have modules due (these are found in Brightspace). You cannot attend the virtual session without completing all modules with a score of 510.
 ***** Certificates of completion for the workshop will not be issued. *****

(This information can be found on your transcript or Degree Works.)

Any questions regarding the workshops, please email Mary E. Reagan or Melissa M. Smith in the FESP Office.
