Annual Ethics Training
Ethics Training is mandatory for all University of Illinois employees, as defined in the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act (5 ILCS 430). The University develops and administers the program under the guidance of the Inspector General (IG), who is responsible for determining training frequency and standards, and has provided the public universities with several quotes we are required to include in our programs. The training must be conducted and required of employees on an annual basis - a timeline established by the IG through the authority granted within the Ethics Act. Communications regarding training requirements will continue to be made through official University e-mail accounts.
All University employees must complete ethics training each calendar year, as designated by their employee classification, in one of the following formats:
WHO: All permanent employees (excluding medical resident, undergraduate student and extra help employees)
WHEN: All Campuses: October 2 - October 31
The online training window has closed as of 10/31/12.
