Training Bypass Policy
U-M grants access to its information systems with the understanding
that University data must be used responsibly. To ensure faculty
and staff have the knowledge to use M-Pathways systems correctly,
training is required before access is granted. Users must also sign
an Access and Compliance Form that states their commitment to use
data as governed by law and in accordance with University policy
and in a manner that protects privacy and ensures confidentiality.
Training Bypass Definition
Staff members with a business need to access a system before they
can attend the required training can request temporary access. This
temporary access is called a training bypass, which means that training
is postponed temporarily and access is granted.
NOTE: Training Bypass requests are not granted for
any required M-Pathways Financials/Physical Resources training or
for some Student and HRMS training. However, when presented with
a business reason, ITS will make every effort to fit the staff
member into required training as soon as possible.
Training Bypass Process
The Unit Liaison is responsible for making the request for a training
bypass and for ensuring that the person receiving the temporary
bypass access is trained properly during this temporary access period.
The ITS Help Desk (maishelpdesk@umich.edu) can assist with initial
training, if needed.
After a training bypass request is received and approved by ITS
and the appropriate Central Office, access will be granted within
three business days. To ensure that access privileges continue,
the person receiving the temporary bypass must attend training within
three months of the time access is granted. Failure to attend training
within the allotted time may result in removal of access.
How to Request a Training Bypass
Staff members with a business need for access to a system before
they can attend the required training, must:
- Complete the Administrative
Data Access and Compliance Overview -- eLearning Course.
- Sign and submit the Access and Compliance Form, which is at
the end of the eLearning course, if one is not already on file.
- Ask their Unit Liaison to send an e-mail message to mpathwaysbypass@umich.edu.
The e-mail message must include the following:
- Name and uniqname of person for whom the training bypass
is being requested
- Unit Liaison's name and phone number
- Name of course(s) for which the training bypass is requested
- Business reason for requesting this bypass
