Compliance Training Directory

University required compliance training

Compliance training is a critical element of an effective compliance program. The university is committed to providing general and specific compliance training so that university employees understand their obligations and responsibilities in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and policies.

Employees are expected to complete required compliance training within the time frames and frequencies established by the department requiring and/or providing the training. Failure to complete required compliance training will result in corrective action, up to and including termination of employment or association with the university.

The following directory lists required compliance training that is assigned to a specific university audience by the university department that owns the training. This directory is updated as the University Integrity and Compliance Office is made aware of any training that should be added or deleted. If you have any questions related to the required training that you may need to take, we encourage you to contact the training owner or your supervisor.
