UVA utilizes the American Association of Laboratory Animal Sciences' Learning Library (ALL) for many of our required online training modules.  Whether a UVA module or ALL module, any online training modules are automatically designated by the ACUC protocol system and are accessible through the Animal Handler Access portal.

Any online training module designated as “required” must be completed prior to ACUC protocol approval. Any incomplete online training will prevent and therefore delay protocol approval. 

How to Access Required Online Animal Handler Training 

• Enter the ACUC protocol system through the Animal Handler Access portal. UVA NetBadge credentials will be used to log into the system. Follow the on-screen instructions.
• Scroll down the Animal Handler Profile Data page, or select Training Records & Responsibilities at the top of the page to navigate to the training section.
  • NOTE: The UVA Orientation to the Animal Care and Use Program module does not show up in this area.  In order to complete this module, you have to search for "UVA-Orientation to the Animal Care and Use Program"
• After the orange dividing bar, the training sections are separated into completed training (green font) and incomplete required training (red font).
• Online training modules were created either internally ("UVA") or externally through AALAS Learning Library or "ALL". In either case, select "click here to start" to be redirected through NetBadge to the beginning of the required training module. The module will open in a new tab or page in the browser.
• After successfully completing the training and associated assessment, documentation of the training completion date will be recorded in the Animal Handler Training Profile Data page automatically. External AALAS-ALL module completion data is updated hourly.
