Required Employee Training
Rationale & Requirements
Moravian University strives to foster mutual respect and human understanding, and to cultivate a community where all members can learn, thrive, and work together effectively. We are committed to minimizing risks and threats to the safety of our community and providing a workplace and learning environment that is free from discrimination, harassment, violence, and retaliation. As employees, we each share in this obligation.
To support the safety and success of our campus community and to ensure compliance with federal, state, and local laws, employees are required to engage in regular training on several important topics. Training is designed to provide employees with awareness around these issues, knowledge of campus policies and resources, and strategies to respond and minimize risk while being mindful of your time (about two hours per year for most employees).
Employees are required to complete the following training annually:
Sexual Violence Prevention/Title IX
Cybersecurity
*Clery Campus Security Authorities/Hazing Prevention (employees advising student organizations/activities or designated to report Clery crimes)
*Safe Driving Practices (employees with driving responsibilities)
Employees are required to complete the following training on a 3-year cycle:**
Harassment/Discrimination Prevention (all employees)
Child Abuse Prevention (all employees)
FERPA (required employees who have access to student information)
Accessing Employee Training
When training is assigned, employees will receive an email notice to their Moravian University inbox with a link to the training assignment. Training is accessed through the Learning module (blue play button icon) under the "me" tab of Oracle with authentication through single sign on (Okta).
For the best experience, it is suggested that you use Google Chrome as your browser and complete the training on a computer (as opposed to a mobile device) where possible. Your completion of each course will be automatically recorded, and most courses are available in several languages (if this option is available, the choice will be provided when the training begins).
Please note that completing required training is not the same process as obtaining criminal and/or child abuse clearances. Training topics and frequency are determined as required by law and/or our insurer.
Employees who have completed an equivalent course in the past 6 months with another institution are able to provide their completion certification and a course summary may be exempted from requirements with approval. Requests for exemption and questions course content or assignment may be directed to hr@moravian.edu.
*Other Required Training
Additional training is required for positions with certain responsibilities, including employees who drive as part of their responsibilities and employees with significant responsibility for student or campus activities under the Clery Act. If these trainings are required for your position, the total training time may surpass two hours. Certain departments or roles may also require specific training related to safety or response protocol.
General questions regarding compliance and the availability of training for employees may be directed to hr@moravian.edu.
Please note that training is not accessible to student employees through Oracle. For more information on assigning training to students, please contact Kelly DeWalt, dewaltk@moravian.edu.
**New Employees
New employees will complete all required training modules upon hire (within 45 days of assignment) and move to the cycle above the next year.
