Mandatory Training

Under the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act (5 ILCS 430/5-10), the Illinois Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act (325 ILCS 5/1), and other state and federal mandates, University personnel are required to complete training within 30 days of hire (or return to work from leave) and annually during the month of October. The trainings are updated regularly to reflect changes in law and policy, so even if an employee recently completed the training as a new hire, they must still complete the annual training in October.

Employee of Illinois State University are obligated to complete training modules as follows:

• Ethics Training
• Discrimination and Harassment Training
• DCFS Training
• Crime and Incident Reporting Training

Employees will receive a mandatory training notification via their University email account with instructions on how to complete the training and meet the statutory requirement.

Failure to complete the training within 30 days or notification will result in the employee’s name and title being provided to the Office of the Executive Inspector General (OEIG) and the possibility of disciplinary action.  Supervisors will be notified on a regular basis of an employee’s failure to complete the required training.
