CU System campuses are implementing processes to raise awareness of computer information privacy and security. Failure to complete the training could result in the loss of computing privileges. Chancellor Pam Shockley-Zalabak recently issued an updated memo on the subject to the campus community. See the memo below.<\/p>\n

To the Campus Community:<\/p>\n

It was recently brought to my attention that more than one-third of UCCS IT account owners have not yet taken a required online course in computer information privacy and security.<\/p>\n

While I complement the majority of our campus, the resulting gap is troubling.<\/p>\n

I wish to remind supervisors they are responsible for ensuring that every employee (full- and part-time, permanent and temporary, student workers, lecturers and Persons of Interest (POI)) complete the general \u201cInformation Privacy and Security\u201d course. Additionally, employees who provide Information Technology services are required to take a second course, \u201cInformation Security for IT Service Providers.\u201d\u00a0 Both courses are available online through the employee portal. Instructions are provided below. The courses were introduced as required for all CU campus faculty and staff in fall 2007 by President Brown and reaffirmed by President Benson in fall 2008.<\/p>\n

The Human Resources Department is in the process of adding completion of these courses to formal job performance planning and goal-setting processes. The courses should be completed within 60 days of creation of an employee\u2019s computer account, current employees must complete the training before June 30th 2010. A users account may be disabled until training is completed.<\/strong> All campuses in the CU System are implementing these processes.<\/p>\n

To complete the training, logon to the myCU Portal at https:\/\/my.cu.edu<\/a> using your UCCS IT account username and password.<\/p>\n
