Bio-Safety Training Program

Before You Begin:

To register for classes or take any online versions of courses, you will need your Employee ID Number.

1) For paid employees the Employee ID number is the six-digit number on your monthly Pay Statement. You can also obtain it from your department or division administrator.

2) If you are a non-employee (visiting professor, UPI employee or volunteer) ask your administrator to obtain a Non-Employee ID Number from Human Resources. If you once had a "Temporary" Employee ID number, HR will likewise assign you a new Non-Employee number. The old Temporary ID numbers are no longer recognized in the Blackboard system.
