Colleague Basic Navigation Training

For staff who are new to Colleague. Includes an overview of the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA); best practices; navigating the system; looking up information on people and courses; reading basic inquiry screens.

This is basic how-to-navigate training, using the Colleague student system for demonstration. This class does not cover tasks/processes specific to individual jobs, nor does it cover use of the Colleague financial or human resources systems. Navigation details, however, do pertain to all aspects of the Datatel User Interface and UI Web.

Prerequisite: a completed Colleague Database Access Request Form, submitted by your supervisor. Please visit the UT Colleague Page to find out how to request your account and download a form.

• Department personnel cover task-specific training.
• Work study/Lesley Works student workers are trained by their supervisors; no need to attend this training.
• For Colleague financial training, please contact Karen Baytch in the Finance Office.
