Utah State University is required to provide annual compliance training to employees depending on the employee’s specific position. This is to ensure all USU employees know how to handle certain matters correctly.
Beginning in FY22, Utah State University implemented a new process to facilitate the completion of required annual compliance training. Historically, these trainings were due on an employee’s hire date, now there is a single annual cycle for all USU employees.
The Office of Human Resources facilitates the annual enrollment of faculty and staff in their unique compliance training requirements through the employee Learn Blue - LMS (learning management system) in July of each year. Employees have until October 31 to complete the required compliance trainings. Employees will receive an email that provides instructions on how to sign into the LMS and complete the trainings.
