FAQs

The UCLC login URL is not working?

You may be accessing an outdated URL link.  Please be sure to always log in via the UCLC webpage.  See troubleshooting tips.

Why is the online eCourse not loading?

This sometimes occur due to a computer or browser compatibility issue you’re experiencing. Please try our troubleshooting tips to ensure browser compatibility, or if possible, try a different computer to see if it helps. Chrome is the recommended browser with the highest reported success rate for completing trainings. You must have cookies enabled and allow pop-ups. Keeping ecourses open for long periods of time can cause completion errors.

Be sure to close all browser tabs and log out completely from the UCLC before relaunching the training. Also note, the UCLC is not accessible from mobile browsers.

Who do I contact regarding my mandatory trainings?

If you have questions regarding your mandatory trainings, please visit the Office of Compliance mandatory training site.  To view your mandatory trainings in the UC Learning Center, from the homepage, select the Required Training button; you can also search for the course name.

Why did I receive a reminder email when my required training shows an "acquired" status?

Your training analysis page lists your assigned required/mandatory trainings.  Although the assigned status displays "acquired", some assigned trainings have a required retraining so it is important to pay attention to the due date and/or expiration date; see explanations below and more on mandatory trainings.

Due Date the date the training is due; notifications are based on this due date

Does the UC Learning Center have a mobile app?

See mobile app tutorial video.  Yes, you may download the SumTotal "Mobile" App (not the "Classic" app); when prompted to enter the site URL, you will input https://uc.sumtotal.host.  Please note, the app has very limited functionality and limited eCourses available; if you cannot find a course on the app, it is accessible only via desktop or laptop.  Mobile web browsers are not supported.  We recommend using a desktop or laptop to access trainings.  Chrome is recommended for best compatibility.

When I register for a class, why does it state "registration blocked"?

Registration Blocked means there are no offerings for the in-person course; clicking on the error message will display an explanation of the message.  You will need to check back to register when there is a new offering.
