PRIVACY TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
Every member of the workforce is responsible for maintaining their individual annual renewal deadlines to meet training requirements. Colleges, departments, divisions, clinics, and other units are responsible for ensuring that all their workforce members
are in compliance.
Failure to comply with the entry and annual training requirements is a Level II Privacy Violation and repeated violations (i.e., failure to complete the training after multiple reminders) is grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
The Privacy Office does not send out training reminders to individuals, but does conduct periodic audits. Results of these training compliance audits are sent to College, Department, and/or Division heads, as appropriate. Audits may also be requested: Contact Everall Peele by email for more information.
