Colleague Basic Training

This class is designed for staff and faculty who are new to Colleague. The content includes an overview of the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA); uses of the Colleague Student System; best practices; navigating the system; looking up information on people and courses; reading basic inquiry screens; and where to go for help. Please note that this is a basic "how-to" on the Student System only; this class does not cover tasks/processes specific to particular positions on campus, nor does it cover the Colleague Financial or Human Resources Systems.

Users of either Windows or Macintosh platforms may attend any session listed below.

• Supervisors cover task-specific training.
• Work study and Lesley work program workers are trained by their supervisors, and need not attend this basic navigation training.
• For Colleague Financial training, please contact Karen Baytch in the Finance Office.

Prerequisite: a completed Colleague Database Access Request Form, submitted by your supervisor. Please visit the UT Colleague Page to find out how to request your account and download a form.
