New Employee Orientation Programs

Welcome aboard. Now an orientation partnership begins between you and the University to help you enjoy a successful and satisfying work/life experience.

An effective orientation should be ongoing and not limited to the first few weeks of work. As a new employee, you are wise to work closely with your supervisor and other colleagues in your unit or department to ensure that you have all the information and resources you need to feel comfortable and prepared.

Arizona Public Service Orientation

Arizona state law requires that all state employees receive a public service orientation that covers policies and laws relating to the proper conduct of business for a public employee. At the conclusion of the orientation, be sure to view and print your certificate of completion.

The Arizona Public Service Orientation is offered online.

New Faculty Orientation

UA prides itself on being a student-centered research university that is one of the most broadly accessible major research universities in the country. Each year the Faculty Affairs Office holds a New Faculty Orientation for new tenure track faculty. You will learn about the campus and students by speaking with colleagues and leaders about upcoming initiatives and campus resources. Contact Asya Roberts at 520-626-0202 if you do not receive an invitation.

Preventing Discrimination and Harassment Training (All Employees)

As members of the University of Arizona community, we share in the responsibility for creating and supporting an environment free of harassment and discrimination. In support of our commitment to this goal, the University requires all employees to take one of the two trainings offered through the Office of Institutional Equity:

  • Preventing Harassment & Discrimination Training – Supervisor
  • Preventing Harassment & Discrimination Training – Non-Supervisor

Please sign up for the training that pertains to your current employment status by completing the online training request form at equity.arizona.edu/training/online-training. Note that we are unable to assign training prior to your official start date.

It takes two to three business days for training to be assigned once data has been transferred to the online learning platform. You will receive an email from EverFi with instructions for accessing the training. Use your NetID for login and training access. All training emails go to your official University of Arizona email address.

For additional guidance and information, please contact the Office of Institutional Equity at 520-621-7287 or tapua@email.arizona.edu.
