Training sessions are open to all faculty and staff who need access to more data. Sessions will be scheduled based on demand - they will be listed here. If there are no sessions listed or none of the dates/times work, please let us know so we can schedule accordingly. We are also happy to deliver training to any group upon request. Training is via Zoom, although we can accommodate in person training if needed.
Upcoming training sessions (please email for Zoom link):
