Checklist for new postdocs

Once you have arrived at UNMC there are a number of housekeeping items that need to be taken care of. Click on the web sites below for further information and forms.

Photo IDs
All faculty, staff, students, house officers and volunteers are required to wear a photo ID card when on UNMC property.

Parking Permits
Any motor vehicle parked on the UNMC campus must have a permit.

Lotus Notes ID
Request a Lotus Notes ID account to access UNMC e-mail, the Intranet, Blackboard, etc. Before requesting an account you will need to verify with your department coordinator what type of access to request, PC Client (you have your personal PC at work to load the software) or Web Client (you don't have a personal PC at work and will access Lotus Notes, etc. from any computer).

Training & Certification
Every postdoc will have certain training requirements and policy compliance issues assigned to them for completion. To verify if you have completed all the requirements assigned to you, log on to the Employee Self Service site using your Lotus Notes ID. When you have logged onto the site, click on "my requirements" under "training and certification." Or you can log onto Blackboard with your Lotus Notes ID and the compliance/training issues that have been assigned to you will be listed under "courses."

Common compliance/training issues assigned to employees are below, however, you may have others assigned to you:

  • HIPAA- Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996
  • Policy 6045- Privacy, Confidentiality and Information Security Policy
