First Week
We're glad you're here!
In order to provide a safe campus for both employees and students, there are four required trainings all UVU employees must go through. These will come through your UVU email. You will access them through UVULearn.
Required Trainings
Discrimination and Prevention
Explains the proper methods of disclosing, handling, and reporting sexual harassment and discrimination.
Cybersecurity
Uncovers popular hacking tricks and promotes the proper use and secure handling of UVU student, employee, financial, and other sensitive data.
Conflict of Interest
- Identifying apparent and potential conflicts of interest, and
- Strategically managing such conflicts.
FERPA
Reviews the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records.
Probationary Periods
A probationary period is a set timeframe of initial employment that provides the employee and the University the opportunity to assess the employee’s ability to perform the duties and fulfill the responsibilities of the position.
Full-Time
For full-time employees this period lasts six months, but may be extended to 12 months. Employment during the probationary period is considered at-will.
Part-Time
Part-time and student employees do not serve a probationary period as their positions are considered at-will.
Faculty
Non-tenured faculty serve a probationary period until they receive tenure from the Board of Trustees. Lecturers and adjuncts do not serve a probation period as they are considered at-will.
At an employee's three and five-and-a-half month mark, they will have an official probation review with their supervisor. Supervisors will fill out a Probation Review Form for each of these meetings. The form will be signed by the employee, first-level supervisor, and second-level supervisor, then it will be sent to HR for documentation.
Fill out the form below for access to the online Probation Review Form.
Performance Evaluations
For full-time staff employees who have successfully completed their probationary period, each January of the fiscal year (July 1-June 30) after you start employment at UVU, annual staff performance evaluations will be completed. Evaluations will be based on UVU's Core Competencies.
Example: Employees hired between January 1 and June 30, 2020 will have their first evaluations during January 2021. Employees hired between July 1 and December 31, 2020 will have their evaluations during the January 2022 review period.
