To the FIT Community,

You will be receiving an email from the Cybersafe email account with the subject line “Welcome to your FIT Mandatory Cybersecurity Training”, which will include the link to take the Spring 2024 edition of FIT’s Cybersecurity Training. We write to encourage the members of the FIT community to learn more about protecting personal and campus information by completing the training, which is offered by the Division of Information Technology annually. The training is one interactive video module that takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. The link to the training will be found in the email from Cybersafe@fitnyc.edu.

This online training is considered college business and should be completed during regular working hours. Adjunct classroom faculty and part-time classroom assistants who complete the training will be compensated at one-half their hourly rate.

Adjunct Faculty and Part-time Classroom Assistants will be eligible for compensation only if they are actively teaching this semester.

You will receive the email in the coming weeks and the training will be available until the end of the Spring 2024 semester.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
