Important if you will be hired as a student:
The form will need to be signed by both you and your faculty supervisor. The faculty supervisor will need to review the form and provide their signature to ensure that the activities selected on the form represent the activities in which you either will be or might be involved.
You will need to submit the signed form and training completion certificates to the Departmental Administrator in the department where you will be hired (via email or campus mail). If you are unsure to whom you should submit the form and training confirmations, contact your faculty supervisor or the Compliance Coordinator at researchcompliance@tamuc.edu
