III. Required Training and Information

All senate faculty and non-senate academic appointees (includes graduate student employees) are required to comply and complete the following mandatory trainings:

  • UC Cyber Security Awareness Fundamentals;
  • UC Preventing Harassment and Discrimination: Non-Supervisors or UC Preventing Harassment and Discrimination: Supervisors, Faculty, MSP;
  • UC Abusive Conduct in the Workplace; and
  • General Compliance Briefing: UC Ethical Values and Conduct or UC Ethics and Compliance Briefing for Researchers (for researchers only).

We recognize that these trainings take time, but it is important that UCOP and campus finds the Law School 100% in compliance. Please login to UCLC and complete your training as soon as possible. If you need assistance logging into UCLC or require accommodations to access and complete mandatory training, please contact the Employee Experience Center at eec@uci.edu or (949) 824-0500, Monday – Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

The UC Preventing Harassment and Discrimination trainings are intended to acknowledge difficult encounters and imbalanced power-dynamics faculty and staff may face in the workplace, provide information about University policies, and review options and resources for reporting and resolving such conduct.

For frequently asked questions regarding sexual harassment, please visit the Title IX Officer FAQ. The website also provides contact information for reporting incidents of sexual harassment. You are responsible for being familiar with the University of California’s Sexual Harassment Policy. UC Irvine’s Faculty Code of Conduct has relevant provisions in Part II. A. 6 and 7.

If you received credit for similar harassment and discrimination training at another institution, you can work with the Law School Assistant Dean, COO/CIO and Title IX Officer Tierney Anderson to learn how to receive credit at UCI. Please email the Law School Assistant Dean, COO/CIO for more information regarding this option.

The University of California has been working to address system-wide challenges in cybersecurity and enhance its ability to manage and respond to ongoing threats effectively. All University of California employees on active payroll status are required to complete on-line Cyber Security Awareness Training through the UC Learning Center. The training should take about 50 minutes and is required annually.

The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) regulates the release of student information. It is very important that protected student information, such as grades, is never posted in public locations (e.g., course websites or classroom/office doors), even if listed by ID number. You should also password-protect any protected data (such as grades or student photos) that are sent via email. If you are ever unsure of the legality of posting or accessing information about a student, contact the Assistant Dean for Student Services, Kyle Jones, for more information, and remember that it is generally best to err on the side of caution.

You are welcome but not required to attend FERPA training. For more information, schedules, and workshop signups, see the FERPA workshops webpage.

As a public institution, please note that UCI must disclose public records unless a specific exemption from disclosure applies. A public record may be any document or record, written or electronic, that is used, retained, or maintained by the University in the course of business. Any records requests that you receive must be responded to in a timely manner. Any records that you hold (including emails) may be released in a records request. For more information, visit the UCI Public Records Office website.

All campus employees must comply with all current campus COVID-19 policies. These policies include a mandatory online training that must be completed before working on campus, requirements regarding face coverings and vaccinations, and completing the daily symptom checks, among others. Please be sure to carefully review all current COVID-19 policies; you can view up-to-date information at https://uci.edu/coronavirus/. Updates to policies will be communicated to the campus community via email as needed. It is important that you check your email regularly and read carefully any communications about campus policies.

Any guest speakers you invite to your class must also be made aware of and comply with campus COVID-19 policies. Please be sure to inform them accordingly.
