All University of Arkansas employees are required to complete system-mandated training courses on a regular schedule. To remain in compliance, employees must complete all required trainings by Dec. 31, 2025.

Training requirements vary, with some trainings required annually and others every three years. Employees who are not in compliance by the deadline will begin receiving additional outreach in January. Those who remain out of compliance by Feb. 28, 2026, will be ineligible for any salary increases during the annual adjustment cycle in July.

Avoid, Deny, Defend: Active Shooter and Cybersecurity trainings have been updated in Workday. These trainings are revised annually in collaboration with subject matter experts and the Office of Human Resources.

Active Shooter Training updates:

• Additional resources, including an enhanced webpage and FAQ, are provided to better understand the Avoid, Deny, Defend framework.
