In an effort to improve the faculty and staff compliance training and avoid a fragmented process, all required training will be delivered through a single platform during a coordinated training session in August.
This streamlined approach will eliminate confusion about where and when to complete training, reduce duplicate and repetitive work, and provide a clear, predictable timeframe before the academic year begins. By completing your training in August, you can begin the semester confident that your requirements are in place — without ongoing interruptions throughout the year.
Renewal trainings:
This August will mark the inaugural renewal training month for all non-student employees. It will include interactive renewals for training such as HIPAA, Information Security, Research Security, Title IX, PCI-DSS and Internal Control that were created in collaboration with WSU’s Office of Instructional Resources. In future years, the plan is to expand the August cycle to include additional required training courses, such as FERPA. Note that not all compliance training will transition to the new platform in the first year. Things will begin with a phased rollout to ensure a smooth and successful transition.
New employee or first-time training:
New employees at WSU or in your area will continue to complete first-time training as part of the established onboarding process, according to current practices. They will complete these training courses at the time of hire or onboarding to your area and will then transition to the August renewal cycle, starting the first August following their initial training completion.
