Mandated Reporter Requirements

Illinois Wesleyan University students completing clinical hours in the schools are mandated reporters.

Therefore all students enrolled in EDUC 125, EDUC 126, Music 132, or first techniques course must complete the online training course for Mandated Reporters concurrent with course enrollment.
