Faculty, Staff and Graduate Assistant Training

All employees with an employment classification other than SA (undergraduate student worker), EH (extra help employee) or RA/RB (medical resident), are required to complete this ethics training course once annually. 

The program will be available this year from:

September 29 - October 31, 2023 (ENDS 5pm CT)

The primary Faculty, Staff and Graduate Assistant Training window has now closed. Employees who did not complete by the 10/31 deadline should complete their training as soon as possible. Employees completing after the initial deadline may be subject to disciplinary action for late completion.

Employees will receive an email at their official university account, prompting them to complete their training. University Net ID's and passwords will be used to access the training at: https://lms.apps.uillinois.edu.

This training is an annual requirement, based on the Illinois State Officials and Employees Ethics Act, and the standards set by the Office of Executive Inspector General for the Agencies of the Illinois Governor. All employees, including those on paid sabbaticals, are required to complete the course. It takes 30-60 minutes to complete and should be completed on work time, as directed by your supervisor. The course must be completed in its entirety by 5 PM central time on the last day of the training window to satisfy this requirement. The course will close promptly at 5 PM central time and any employees in process (not fully completed) will be considered noncompliant.
