The 2026 Spring Biannual Compliance Training will help Georgia Tech employees uphold the University System of Georgia's (USG) and the Institute's policies and compliance obligations.  

"We are grateful to the campus community for strong participation in the 2025 Fall Biannual Compliance Training," said Georgia Tech's Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer Joshua Toas. "Georgia Tech is required to conduct training twice a year - in the fall and in the spring. As we start the spring compliance training, we appreciate everyone's continued commitment to the training and to compliance across the Institute." 

Beginning Wednesday, Feb. 4, all faculty, staff, and students who are active employees as of Jan. 12 will be required to complete the 2026 Spring Biannual Compliance Training by 11:59 p.m. EST on Friday, Feb. 27. The training is available at https://b.gatech.edu/genius. 

This year's training will include the following and should take no more than 50 minutes to complete:    

2026 Spring Biannual Compliance Training

• Part 1: Identifying and Responding to Sexual Misconduct

• Part 2: 2026 Your Role: Internet Security and You

• Part 3: Deepfakes, Scams, and Disinformation 

• Part 4: AI and Sensitive Info Don't Mix  

• Part 5: Insider Threats for End Users

"Cybersecurity training and the understanding of its shared responsibility are key to combating evolving cyberthreats," added Georgia Tech's Chief Information Security Officer Joe Lewis. "The spring cybersecurity modules will help Georgia Tech employees learn to detect deepfakes, phishing attempts, and artificial intelligence-based scams. These training sessions will help keep the Institute's digital assets and information secure."

The USG mandates the training for all employees. It can be completed on a desktop or laptop and does not need to be finished all at once. Employees who do not complete the training by the deadline may face disciplinary action by the Institute.
