Choosing the Right Course Version

  • Returning Employees (viewed the full course within the last 3 years): Select the shorter Annual Review version.
  • New Employees or those who haven’t completed the full course in 3+ years: Select the longer New Employee version.

Employees with Multiple Roles

If prompted to select a job role, choose your primary role. For example, adjunct faculty with a non-adjunct appointment should select the non-adjunct role unless otherwise directed by HR.

Adjunct Faculty Stipend

Adjunct employees who complete all seven modules are eligible for a $100 stipend. Submit proof of completion (screenshots) to your department’s FWM processor by the deadline.
