Training

ADA Basic Building Blocks training is an introductory webcourse on the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) that is designed to help increase your knowledge and understanding of the basic principles and core concepts in the ADA and the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA). This is a free training through the ADA National Network. Print your test score at the end of the training and provide it to your supervisor if you are using it for professional development.

UAF's iTeachU offers a wide variety of training, assistance, and resources to instructors teaching through eCampus.

It is possible that there were additional slides that were not completed. The training completion is recorded once the training progresses to slide 63, past the “Summary” slide.  Please make sure that you’ve progressed to that point.

Students who do not complete the training by the deadline will have a Priority Registration Hold placed on their account. The registration hold will stay on the students’ account for the two weeks of priority registration and will be removed once the required training is complete or once the two-week priority registration period is over, whichever comes first.

UAF is a university where EVERYONE is welcome and EVERYONE belongs. UAF prohibits gender-based harassment and violence targeting transgender individuals and/or individuals not conforming to gender norms. This training will introduce you to what it means for UAF to be gender inclusive, and why it is important for our campuses to be a safe and welcoming place for all genders. Participants will learn about our UA policies, important terms, and hear about efforts made to ensure UAF is inclusive and welcoming.
