What is SPARC
The City University of New York (CUNY) has launched its new on-line training program known as the Sexual and Interpersonal Violence Prevention and Response Course (鈥淪PARC鈥�). This program addresses New York State鈥檚 Enough is Enough (鈥淓IE鈥�) statute that requires all NYS colleges provide students with ongoing education and training about sexual misconduct, including domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, sexual harassment, gender-based harassment, and sexual violence. SPARC is available on a Blackboard platform, and successful completion is noted in the student鈥檚 CUNYfirst and Blackboard account.
Who needs to take it?
All Freshman, Transfer students, Club/Organization Officers, Study Abroad, Overnight
travel participants and Student Athletes
**Student Athletes must complete SPARC annually to be eligible to play**
