What is Employee Information Security Training?
This is training that is for all faculty, staff, and employees who are in Workday with an active UNR Exchange profile. It provides you with valuable skills to keep the University's information secure, which is imperative for protecting our entire University community. These tools will help us all to Protect the Pack!
Frequently Asked Questions
How will I be notified of security awareness training?
You will receive a campus announcement about each annual training campaign for the calendar year. This will inform the campus community about the date the campaign starts and where in Workday you can locate the Announcement to begin your campaign.
Each campaign notification email will go to your @unr.edu Exchange email address because that is the official email address on your employee profile (see UAM 2,005). If you have not checked that email, or you have not yet activated that email, please start there to troubleshoot missing emails. You may get assistance with activating your UNR Exchange email by contacting OIT Support Center.
What are the system requirements for completing the training?
Please use a laptop or desktop with Internet Explorer 11 or higher, Microsoft Edge, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari for the Information Security training courses. It is not recommended to use an iPad, tablet, or mobile device to complete this training so you may ensure proper completion of the training.
I started the training, but I'm not seeing anything. Why?
This issue often is caused by a pop-up blocker in your browser. Turn off the popup blocker and relaunch the training. Please note that you should not close out any of the pop-ups until after you have completed the training or it may not be recorded. The following two windows should remain open for the entirety of the training:
If you continue to encounter issues with the pop-up, please contact the OIT Support Center.
Why are the training modules not loading or are locking up?
This may be due to the type of device or browser you are using. It is not recommended that an iPad or tablet be used for training. Please use a desktop or laptop computer with either Internet Explorer 11 or higher, Microsoft Edge, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari as your browser. If you continue to encounter issues, please contact the OIT Support Center to see if there are additional settings on your device that might be impacting this.
I completed my assigned training. Why is it not showing in my Learning Transcript history?
In order for the training to reflect as Completed in the Workday Learning application, you must keep all pop-ups open until you have completed the module. If you close any of the pop-ups, your scoring will not record in the Workday Learning system.
To make sure it is recorded, after your quiz you will see the following screen:
Click the Next button at the bottom of the screen and you will see:
Click Complete Training to be taken back to the Workday Learning application.
If you continue to encounter issues with this, please contact ISTraining@unr.edu so we may investigate.
How can I confirm I have completed the Information Security training?
Training history is visible in the Learning Transcript in Workday. To access the Learning Transcript search “My Transcript” in the Workday search bar. For step-by-step instructions please visit How to View Your Training History (My Transcript).
I took this training before. Do I need to take it again?
All faculty and staff are required to take security awareness training on an annual basis per UAM 2,006. Each calendar year new, updated, or additional training campaigns will be released.
I'm no longer an employee, but I'm still getting notifications to take the training. Why?
If you are getting notifications about training, this means that your UNR Exchange email account still is active under an employee or Emeritus profile. All faculty, staff, and employees with an active account are required to take training since they still have access to our system and network. If you are not Emeritus after you have left employment, please contact OIT Support Center to help determine why the email account still is active.
If there are any questions about the current campaign and what you are responsible for that calendar year, please contact ISTraining@unr.edu.
