Course Completion

After establishing your registration in the CITI site, you will log into TrainTraq and access the Responsible Conduct for Research Course (Course #2111131). Select “Launch Course” to be directed to CITI to complete all modules.

  1. It will take about two hours to complete the assigned modules. You do not have to complete all of the modules in one visit. Completed modules (quiz taken and successfully completed) will be saved when you log out of the CITI training web site. There is a quiz for most of the required modules. You must correctly answer 80% of the quiz questions to successfully complete the module.
  2. Once you have completed all of the required modules, click on "Go to the Main Menu." On the main menu page, choose "View course completion history for Texas Engineering Experiment Station” and print completion certificate. Keep a copy of the report for your file.
  3. If your TrainTraq session times out while you are taking the training, your completion will not record in TrainTraq. You must log back into SSO, access the course and acknowledge completion as instructed on the first page of the training.
