Additionally, any students (graduate or undergraduate) involved in federally-funded research must also complete these courses. These courses are now available in CITI and must be completed by September 30th, 2025.
InfoEd integrates with CITI by means of the user's USM assigned email address. Since InfoEd login requires USM credentials, your CITI certificates also must be tied to your USM email address. The integration will fail if your email address in CITI is @gmail, @hotmail, @yahoo, etc. If you do not know your USM assigned email address, contact iTech at 601.266.HELP (4357).
