The following are required trainings with instructions on how to access and complete them by their designated deadlines. New employees are required to finish these trainings within 30 days of their start date.
Employee Policies and Expectations Review
All employees (including students, faculty, adjunct faculty, and staff, but excluding temporary or part-time employees) are required to read and understand our policies and expectations at the university outlined in this training. New employees will be automatically enrolled in this course on their first day of employment and can access this training through their Canvas Dashboard. Email learning@boisestate.edu with questions.
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that restricts the release of student information without their written consent. To ensure compliance with this law and protect student data, all employees (students, faculty, and staff) with access to student records are required to complete this training 30 days from their start date and every 3 years thereafter. These employees are automatically enrolled in this course on their first day of employment and can access this training through their Canvas Dashboard.

Clery Act and Crime Reporting
The Clery Act and Crime Reporting Training covers Boise State’s obligations under the federal law known as the Clery Act. All employees (students, faculty, and staff) take this training, and those employees specifically identified as “Campus Security Authorities (CSA)” complete this training or the refresher training course annually. New employees will be automatically enrolled in this course on their first day of employment and can access this training through their Canvas Dashboard.

Respectful Workplace
Respectful Workplace Training provides employees with the tools to prevent and report harassment and discrimination, fostering a safe and supportive environment at our university. All employees (including students, faculty, adjunct faculty, and staff, but excluding temporary and part-time employees) will be automatically enrolled in this course in early March after their start date and can access this training through their Canvas Dashboard. This training has been combined with our Cybersecurity Training under the course titled “New Employee Mandatory Annual Trainings”. Email learning@boisestate.edu with questions.
Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity Training is mandated by the Idaho Office of Information Technology Services and educates employees about potential cyber threats and how to protect university data. All employees (including students, faculty, adjunct faculty, and staff, but excluding temporary and part-time employees) will be automatically enrolled in this course on their first date of employment and will be able to access this training through their Canvas Dashboard. This training has been combined with our Respectful Workplace Training under the course titled “New Employee Mandatory Annual Trainings”. After first completing it, employees will be required to complete it twice a year in March and October (Cybersecurity Awareness Month).
Trainings Due Annually in March
All benefit-eligible and adjunct employees must complete the required modules by the end of March. These mandatory trainings will be made available on your Canvas Dashboard in early March. Benefit-eligible employees must complete both Respectful Workplace and Cybersecurity Trainings to be eligible for Change in Employee Compensation (CEC) (an annual pay increase) if the state authorizes it.
Finally, these trainings will look similar to our “New Employee Mandatory Annual Trainings”, as both are state-mandated and must be completed within 30 days of hire and annually. Email hrs@boisestate.edu with questions or access concerns.
