Direct deposit message now runs hourly
As a result of a phishing attack at the Morris campus in late January, the Student Finance group decided to increase the frequency of the direct deposit email message to alert students when there are changes to their account. Previously this communication ran nightly on the batch schedule. Now this process will run hourly.

Required training—sexual misconduct
The rollout of the new sexual misconduct training was briefly postponed while the team resolved some technical issues, however many of you have now received the email from training@umn.edu with your unique link to the training. If you do not receive this email by March 30, let training@umn.edu know.
You must complete the training by June 30. We have heard it can take between two to three hours to complete, but you can save your progress and come back to it. If you have concerns or questions, contact our ASR human resources representative, Mary Stein (stein094@umn.edu).
This training comes as part of the President’s Initiative to Prevent Sexual Misconduct.
