March 28, 2018

The university implemented a new online harassment prevention course from a new provider, EverFi, on Mon., Mar. 5, 2018. While many people are able to access the new course and complete all the course modules successfully, there are some employees reporting technical difficulties in seeing the EverFi module or having their EverFi module completion recorded properly within the university’s learning management system (ICON).

ITS has been in contact with EverFi and they are working to resolve the issues that have been reported. We do not have an estimated date yet for resolution of these sporadic issues.

For this reason, we have decided to grant due date extensions to individuals with a due date on or before April 30, 2018.

Automatic Extensions of Due Dates for Selected Employees:

If due on or before April 30, 2018: Employees who had a due date on or before April 30, 2018 for this compliance received an automatic extension of their due date until May 1, 2018. These employees may attend an instructor-led program or attempt to complete the online course.

The university continues to offer instructor-led courses through UI Learning & Development and UI Health Care Human Resources. More information on the instructor-led courses is available from EOD’s website and from UI Health Care, Faculty & Staff New Hire Orientation’s website. To enroll in an instructor-led course, visit Employee Self Service, Personal Tab, Sexual Harassment Prevention Edu, Instructor Led Classes.

Please email diversity@uiowa.edu with any additional questions/concerns and thank you for your patience as we work to resolve the sporadic issues with the new online course.
