Training

The Chancellor's Office is committed to high quality and accessible training and professional development for faculty and staff. The CSYOU webpage is a great place to learn about the system-wide opportunities offered for employees. Through this collaboration and other supplemental materials, online safety training and other self-paced training opportunities are provided for CSUMB employees.

Online safety training

Mandatory and recommended online safety training for CSUMB employees is accessed through the online training tool, SumTotal. Access the EMHS tutorial for accessing health and safety specific courses. A quick start guide to the SumTotal tool is also available

When you are assigned training:

1. You will get an email from SumTotal that will contain a link to your SumTotal portal.
2. Log into the SumTotal portal. If you are already logged into the CSUMB system, you will automatically be logged into the SumTotal portal. If you are not logged in, select your campus from the drop-down list (Monterey Bay) and then use your CSUMB username and password to log in.
3. Access your assigned courses from "Assigned Learning".
4. Once you have completed a course, you will receive a certificate of completion. Please print this certificate for your records—you may be asked to submit it as proof of training completion. You can also see the courses you have completed by clicking on Transcript
