Learning central

Version 1.1 (last updated Jul 26, 2019)

The Learning Central portal at the University of Victoria (UVic) is managed by Organization Development and Learning Services (ODLS) within Human Resources (HR). The portal supports employee training and learning records management by UVic training providers. Access to the Learning Central portal (“portal”) is granted upon a user’s review and acceptance of a set of terms and conditions (“agreement”). Any modifications to this agreement will be posted with the assumption that continued use of the portal indicates acceptance of such changes.

Information Disclosure
Your learning records are visible to your direct supervisor or manager through the portal.
Also, by using the portal, you agree to make your contact information and employment status available to portal administrators (ODLS staff and other campus training providers).

Portal users are responsible for seeking appropriate supervisor approval prior to registering for training. Some operations in the portal may require you to provide a FAST code and personal dietary restrictions. This information will be visible to portal administrators only for the purposes of applying a service policy or arranging catering services when applicable.

Your interactions within the portal, including registering for courses, posting courses, learning records and other data will be stored on servers located in Canada at the University of Victoria.

Use of the Learning Central portal is subject to the following UVic policies and guidelines:

• IM7200 - Acceptable Use of Electronic Information Resources Policy

• IM7310 - Copyright Compliance Policy - Fair Dealing Guidelines 
• IM7800 - Information Security Policy

in addition to applicable service policies associated with the courses you are taking. These policies will be highlighted during the registration process and are a result of the fact that training may be organized by various departments and service providers.
