In-person sessions of the Annual Compliance Training are scheduled to begin Thursday, January 8, 2009.
This year there are two different sessions – one for staff and one for faculty. As we did last year, we are offering ONLINE REGISTRATION for each in-person session. Employees are required to register, as seating is limited.
In-person training will be held at the Dodd Center in the Konover Auditorium. Regional Campus employees should check with their Director’s or AVP’s Office regarding sessions for their campus. For a complete listing of sessions and to register, please go to the Office of Audit, Compliance and Ethics website at www.audit.uconn.edu/training.htm. For employees who may not have computer access, please contact Liz Vitullo at (860) 486-4526.
Online versions of the training are scheduled to be available in February. Please stay tuned for future announcements regarding the online training.

The deadline for completing the Annual Compliance Training for this academic year is May 15, 2009.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really have to do this training again?
The short answer is YES. The Board of Trustees has mandated that all employees receive annual compliance training. The federal government has also required compliance training for all employees through an agreement with the University. There are additional training requirements in the State Code of Ethics as well. The University has decided to meet all these requirements in one training session.
If I completed training last spring, do I need to do it again?
Compliance Training is required annually by academic year. Training for this year must have been completed between November 2008 and May 2009.
Which session should I attend?
Members of UCPEA, AFSCME, CEUI and any staff who do not work with research grants or contracts should attend a staff session or complete the staff training online. Members of AAUP, management employees who oversee faculty and any staff who work with research grants should attend a faculty session or complete the faculty training online.
I registered online using SurveyMonkey.com, but I now need to change sessions. What do I do?
SurveyMonkey.com does not allow an individual to change their registration. Please contact Liz Vitullo at Elizabeth.Vitullo@uconn.edu to change your session.
If I attended FAIT during the fall 2008 semester, do I have to do this training as well?
No. If you attended the FAIT session where the Office of Audit, Compliance and Ethics presented, you have completed your compliance training requirement for this academic year. A list of those in attendance was provided to our office to ensure employees receive proper credit.
I am a new employee and attended New Employee Orientation. Do I have to complete the Compliance Training?
New employees who attended New Employee Orientation anytime after August 1, 2008 do not need to complete the Compliance Training for this academic year only.
Will there be sessions scheduled for the Regional Campuses?
Yes. Please check with your Director’s or AVP’s office for the schedule of sessions.
