Training Catalog

 

Effective October 1, 2018, a CU System-wide communication was sent out regarding revisions made to the Sexual Misconduct Policy. The policy revisions included a new requirement for all employees to complete training on all OE-related policies every three years. The Skillsoft Percipio training referenced in the policy administered by the OE, is titled, CU: Discrimination & Sexual Misconduct – CU Denver | CU Anschutz. 

On May 6, 2020, Title IX regulations (2020 Title IX regulations) were announced by the U.S. Department of Education and Office for Civil Rights with a mandate to be in effect by August 14, 2020. The University has revised our system-wide Sexual Misconduct, Intimate Partner Violence, and Stalking Policy (Sexual Misconduct Policy) pursuant to updated legal requirements from the U.S. Department of Education under Title IX.

On August 18, 2020, all employee compliance records were "reset." This means if you completed the Discrimination & Sexual Misconduct training before August 18, 2020, you are considered out of compliance with University policy and are required to retake the course. 

  • Communications were sent informing the campus community of the 2020 Title IX regulations and compliance record “reset” on August 18, 2020 (CU Denver News and CU Anschutz News), and new communications were advertised in July 2022, in honor of Title IX’s 50th anniversary (CU Denver News and CU Anschutz News).

On August 8, 2022, all dual campus employees were auto-enrolled into our online Skillsoft Percipio training to increase compliance rates, and will receive automatic reminders/past-due notifications when it is time to retake the training (every three years).

To simplify tracking employee training completion, as of August 18, 2020, all employees status related to training completion were reset to “out of compliance."

  • New employees are required to complete this training within their first 90 days of employment.
    • When accessing Skillsoft Percipio course, be sure to click “Launch Course” (Step 8) to accurately log completion date.
  • Existing employees are required to take this training every three years.
    • When accessing Skillsoft Percipio course, be sure to click “Restart Course” (Step 8) to accurately log retake date.

The following tab titled, “How can I complete the training?” provides a linked document with step-by-step access instructions and additional details/instructions regarding Step 8 referenced above (Launch Course vs. Restart Course) to ensure you remain in-compliance with recurring training requirement.

There are two ways to complete the required training:

1. You can complete the online Skillsoft Percipio training on your UCDAccess Portal titled CU: Discrimination and Sexual Misconduct -- CU Denver | CU Anschutz.

2. You can request a 2-hour, instructor-led training that is specific to your department. 

You are able to track your training completion status and/or the training completion status of your department staff (if you are a supervisor), via a training summary. 

A training summary is a record of all trainings you have completed thus far, via Skillsoft Percipio. Training listed in an employee’s training summary is what the OE will reference to ensure all employees are complying with the new training requirement.

To access your personal training summary, follow these steps:

  • From your UCDAccess Portal home page, select the navigation bar in the upper right corner
  • Select “CU Resources”
  • Select: "Training"
    • If you are an employee and would like to view your own record, click “Training Summary”
    • If you are in a supervisory role, you can select “Supervisor Training Summary,” which provides a summary of training taken for your employees/department.
