Frequently Asked Questions
1. Who is required to take Compliance Training?
General Compliance Training is required of all employees. All new employees are required to complete compliance training within 30 days of the training notification.
Research and Teaching Assistants participate in an orientation session that covers required compliance training topics, but online training is also required.
In addition, some employees may be required to take job-specific training to be assigned based on specialized job responsibilities. For example, individuals who have UTD-issued purchasing cards will be required to take additional training designed specifically for cardholders.
2. Why am I required to take Compliance Training every year?
Annual and New-Hire Compliance Training is a critical component of the UTD Institutional Compliance Program that is mandated by UT System Policy - UTS 119 Institutional Compliance Program. The purpose of Compliance Training is to provide basic information about laws, regulations, policies and procedures with which employees must comply. In addition, the training provides references regarding who employees can talk to, and websites they can visit for more information.
3. Who determines the courses I am required to take?
For annual compliance training, members of the UT Dallas Compliance Subcommittee team make recommendations to the Audit and Compliance Committee for their approval. The most recently approved schedule can be found here.
Job-specific training is assigned based on specialized job responsibilities. The Compliance Office collaborates with management from each of the administrative areas to determine the appropriate training requirements.
