Security Awareness Training

All Minnesota State Colleges and Universities institutions are participating in a Desire2Learn (D2L)-based Security Awareness Training program entitled Public Jobs: Private Data. Initial offerings of the three self-paced courses, which take 15-45 minutes each to complete, began in Spring 2007. Each module teaches best practices for using computers, identifying private information and what to do if a breach of information is discovered. All employees, including faculty, of Minnesota State Colleges and Universities are required to have completed this training by November.

Each employee will be sent an Enrollment Notice and directions to login to the D2L program. Please contact Human Resources if you have any questions about course requirements and call Instructional Technology if you need assistance with technical issues or if you need help navigating through the coursework.
