Step 2: Select Curriculum

The Select Curriculum page contains several questions designed to help you choose courses to be added to your profile.

Be sure to choose training from the relevant HSR category.

For most of the questions, you can only make one selection, but courses can easily be added later. For Question 1, select Not at this time and for Question 2, select No.

The courses related to HSR appear in Question 3 and Question 9, so select one from one of those lists. Select the course that most closely matches your research. For the other questions, select "No" or "Not at this time".

At the end of the page, click the Submit button. A message indicates that your enrollment was successful.

You can start the course right away or complete it later by exiting and logging back into the CITI website.

Step 3: Verify Your Completion Records

CITI automatically records Human Subjects training data and in most cases your completion can be confirmed by UCR staff. However, you may choose to generate a certificate of completion for your own records. This is especially important if you completed the training through a different institution, since UCR staff can only access records for people who affiliated with UCR prior to completing the training.

2. Click Log In Through My Organization
3. click the My Courses link at the top of the page to view your enrollments.
4. Click the View-Print-Share Record button next to the completed course
