UC Ethics and Compliance Briefing

This briefing is designed to raise continued awareness of the University of California Statement of Ethical Values and Standards of Ethical Conduct, and to convey University employment obligations with respect to ethical and compliant behavior. The purpose is not to teach University policy or ethics but to familiarize UC employees with important ethics and compliance information, issues, and the many resources available to UC employees when questions arise.

This course should take approximately 30 minutes to complete the required material, and there are also four optional mini modules (5 minutes each) available.

Time to complete:  ~30 mins
