Annual Compliance Training

Compliance training is the process of ensuring employees understand all the relevant laws, regulations, and internal policies that govern the function of our institution. It also ensures that employees know how – and why – they need to adhere to the laws, regulations, and internal policies in their work. Compliance enables our institution to operate safely and efficiently with the policies the institution has set forth to meet its vision and mission.

Our annual and new hire compliance training modules are managed in a web-base software by Vector Solutions: Vector LMS, Higher Education Edition (who acquired Safe Colleges). In addition to our annual compliance training, Vector has many other useful videos that are available to all employees in the Extra Training section.
