The University of Houston System wrapped up its 2nd annual, system-wide, comprehensive Mandatory Training program. We would like to thank the campus community for their continued support and dedication. 93% of all University of Houston employees (this includes faculty, staff, student workers, and temporary employees paid through the payroll system) completed their state and Board mandated training by the extended deadline date of January 31, 2009.

We would like to encourage employees to continue to complete their training, if they have not yet done so, as the courses will remain available on their UHS Online Professional Development and Training account here through July of this fiscal year. They will not, however, receive recognition for compliance for their post-expiration date completion. According to SAM 02.A.11 and SAM 02.A.26, any employee who did not complete all training by the published deadline date will not have met their job expectations and will therefore not be eligible for a merit increase.

To continue to monitor your area's training, you may run one of the following queries in the PeopleSoft HRMS database:

We greatly appreciate your support of the mandatory training program, and we look forward to working with you next fall.
