Required training in Workday is assigned to you and automatically reassigned during each retraining period.
How will I find out about required training?
You will receive a notification when it is time for you to complete your required training. Please wait until you are notified to complete your required training.
You can use the link in that notification or go to “Learning - Required for You” in Workday to find training that you need to complete. Required training is not available in the Workday course catalog.
How are courses assigned?
If you had training completions for mandatory compliance training courses at the time of Workday go-live, those completions were migrated to Workday and will be automatically reassigned using the schedule in the table below. For new employees or those who did not have records migrated into Workday, your manager or a learning partner in your school, college, or division, will assign you courses you are required to take. Once you complete these courses, they will reassign automatically according to the schedule below.
| Course | Retraining Cycle | Time to Complete after Assignment or Reassignment |
|---|---|---|
| Prevent Sexual Harassment at UW–Madison | Every 4 years | 30 days |
| Responsible Employee Training | Every 365 days | 30 days |
| Campus Security Authority Training | Every 365 days | 30 days |
| Cybersecurity Training | Every 365 days | 30 days |
Example: If you last completed Cybersecurity Awareness training on September 1, 2026, Workday will calculate the next due date for you as September 1, 2027. You will be notified to complete the training 30 days ahead of that new due date. Please wait until you receive a notification from Workday to complete the training.
