Mandatory Compliance Training Due Nov. 30

Mandatory Compliance Training Due Nov. 30

Each year, all faculty and staff must complete compliance training. This year employees have two choices for completing this requirement: 1) Utilize Building A Better U, or 2) Attend a class offered by Human Resources. In addition, employees must also complete Cyber Security Awareness training offered separately by Information Technology Services. All compliance courses can be found on Georgia Southern’s e-Learning System, Building A Better U. Cyber Security Awareness training must be completed by Thursday, Oct. 31, while the other courses are due by Saturday, Nov. 30.

Building A Better U
The Department of Human Resources has made the following four compliance courses available on Building A Better U: “Sexual Harassment and Discrimination,” “University System of Georgia Ethics,” “Drug Free Workplace Act,” and “Confidentiality Agreement.” 


The “Drug Free Workplace Act” and “Confidentiality Agreement” are documents that should be thoroughly read and understood before taking the quiz
 to answer basic compliance training questions.  “Sexual Harassment and Discrimination” and “University System of Georgia Ethics” are video-based courses accompanied by multiple choice quizzes. The four compliance courses and quizzes should take approximately one hour to complete. All employees must have passing scores to remain in compliance with the University System of Georgia.


The following are the passing scores for the four compliance courses:

  • Drug Free Workplace Act                                   100%
  • Confidentiality Agreement                                  100%
  • Sexual Harassment and Discrimination               100%
  • University System of Georgia Ethics                  80%

Attend a Human Resources Class
The Human Resources’ Organization Development and Learning department is offering faculty and staff an opportunity to take the courses in a classroom setting. “Sexual Harassment and Discrimination” and “University System of Georgia Ethics” videos will be played on a projection screen. After each video, participants will be guided to the corresponding quiz to be taken individually. Participants will then be shown how to access the “Drug Free Workplace Act” and “Confidentiality Agreement,” where they will learn how to print documents directly from Building A Better U to keep for personal reference. This is a chance to complete the annual compliance courses while gaining a better understanding of Building A Better U. To sign up for one of the following sessions, visit training.georgiasouthern.edu. Each session will be held in the Human Resources Training Room:

  • Thursday, Oct. 31          9 - 10:30 a.m.
