Can I take the online training from any computer?

I don't have access to a computer. What should I do?
Don't worry. You have options.
- Student employees can use the campus computer labs.
- Non-student employees can use the computers in the UT Dallas library.
I took all of the tests. Do I need to do anything else?
Each training course has a test at the end. If you scored 100% on each one, you’re done! You do not need to do anything else. UT Dallas maintains your scores electronically.
Who is required to take compliance training and how often?
All employees, including student workers and research/teaching assistants. In general, employees take compliance training when first hired and once a year after that. Sometimes, you might be required to complete additional training for other reasons. For example, if you change jobs or if there is a change in the law.
Why do I have to take this training every year?
Annual training is required by UT System policy, various state laws, and federal guidelines.
Who decides which training I'm required to take?
Key campus officials decide who should receive each training course/module. These officials are considered the authorities in their areas and carry the ultimate responsibility for making sure UT Dallas complies with the law in their assigned areas. These officials determine the nature of the training, and the Office of Audit and Compliance manages the delivery of the training.
