Compliance Training

"Empowering Knowledge. Ensuring Compliance."

Compliance training is essential to ensuring that all university personnel understand and adhere to federal, state, and institutional policies and regulations governing research, teaching, and administrative activities. Our goal is to foster a culture of integrity, responsibility, and accountability across campus.

Purpose

The purpose of compliance training is to equip faculty, staff, students, and affiliates with the knowledge and tools necessary to meet the ethical and legal obligations associated with their roles. These trainings are designed to mitigate risks, prevent misconduct, and promote safe, ethical, and compliant practices in all university operations.
