Building a Culture of Consent on Campus

Intended as an accessible introduction to our anti-sexual violence educational offerings, this eClass course provides participants with information aimed at addressing sexual violence in the University context. The course offers a primer on consent and covers foundational information about sexual violence such as how to recognize it, why it happens, how to prevent it, and strategies to support those in our lives who have experienced it. Open to all members of the U of A community.

Workshops

Open to students, faculty, and staff, our interactive workshops offer a deeper dive on a variety of core concepts covered in our online course. Aimed at building tangible skills, these workshops offer strategies for practicing consent and supporting survivors in our day-to-day lives.

About Our Centre

The U of A Sexual Assault Centre (UASAC) provides drop-in crisis intervention support to survivors of sexual violence and their supporters, as well as comprehensive educational workshops for the campus community. We actively work towards creating a campus community free of sexual violence and operate from a feminist, anti-oppressive, intersectional, trauma-informed, and person-centered framework. Keeping that in mind, it is important for us to recognize our Centre’s ongoing occupation of ᐊᒥᐢᑲᐧᒋᐋᐧᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ, or Amiskwaciwâskahikan (Edmonton), Treaty 6 territory and the ancestral home of the Papaschase Cree. We understand that our participation in this colonial project complicates our relationship to anti-sexual violence prevention and education work, as the mere existence of our service is dependent on the continued disregard for Indigenous sovereignty. Acknowledging this complicated relationship is only the beginning of our work; we are committed to unpacking and understanding the responsibility we have to each other and to this land.


All services are free of charge and are available to people of all genders, sexualities, and backgrounds. Each person's individual recovery process will be respected.

In accordance with current College of Alberta Psychologists and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta guidelines, masks remain mandatory for the duration of your visit to the UASAC. Clients who choose not to wear a mask will be offered remote alternatives for services.
