University Ethics Office

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). Beginning in 2009, the public universities in Illinois assumed responsibility for the development and administration of the annual ethics training program. Though University employees will no longer complete an Inspector General (IG) developed annual training program, the IG will continue to be 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 will also continue to 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:

Online Ethics Training
