No. The Ethics in ACTION! program is completely voluntary.

You are welcome to participate at whatever level you want – read each month's email, stop by one of our Pop-Up table locations, or more actively participate in some or all of the training opportunities. Do what you are comfortable with and what works with your schedule.

Yes and no.  You don't have to complete the Ethics in Eight eLearning modules in any particular order, but you'll need to complete them all before you attend the Be the Hero! Workshop.  You are welcome to complete the bonus activities in any order.

On the Ethics in ACTION! page in UA LMS, you will see a "Live the Code" option for each of the eight ethical standards.  When you click on the option and enroll, you'll be prompted to complete a checklist.  This is where you will enter information about the activity that you completed.  Once it is reviewed and accepted, you will receive program credit and you'll get an email confirmation.

This program will run throughout the 2025 calendar year.

Aside from the feeling of accomplishment, there are several rewards for participation!  Pick up some swag at the workshop or at our Pop-Up table.  Earn CEU credit for completing the eLearning modules or the workshop.  Those who complete all three parts of the program will earn a beautiful desk award, have their names included in our honor roll of heroes, and we will provide a recognition report to University leadership as well.

No problem.  Please reach out to us at compliancetraining@ua.edu.
