Complete Required Training

UB is committed to ensuring a safe, secure and healthy environment for all our employees. We have made training available online for you to take at your convenience to help you understand how we work together to achieve this goal.

Required Training

New York State requires that all employers, including the University at Buffalo, ensure that their employees complete sexual harassment prevention training annually.

The State University of New York (SUNY) Office of General Counsel has developed an online, 30-minute training to educate faculty and staff in identifying and reporting discriminatory harassment based on race and national origin. This includes acts of hatred or bigotry based on religious traits or characteristics, such as acts of antisemitism and Islamophobia. This training is aimed toward ensuring that UB responds effectively and appropriately to these incidents, even when speech may be protected under the First Amendment. 

This training is available to all faculty and staff in UB Learns. Select the "Mandatory: SUNY Title VI Training" course in the "My Courses" section. A Quick Start Guide and more detailed instructions are available for additional assistance.

This online training reviews UB’s Workplace Violence Policy and helps you to identify potentially violent situations so that you can help to keep our campus safe and secure.

This online training will help you recognize the tactics used by others to obtain sensitive and protected information. In the university environment, most of us deal with sensitive information on a daily basis — sometimes without realizing it. We all have a responsibility to ensure that UB data remains secure.
