Welcome to the 2024-25 ASUC/GA Agent Training!

The training comprises five modules and six quizzes. Each module contains content related to, or detailing, CalLink Finance roles, processes, and policies. Modules can be completed at your own pace, but modules must be completed in order.

The entire training has been completely redesigned this year after several years' worth of feedback. This new training has been designed to minimize extraneous information, streamline the presentation content in each module (including aligning the design of the course content more closely with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0), and emphasize the most important and often overlooked information for ASUC/GA Agents. Furthermore, the module quizzes have been completely rewritten to focus specifically on applicable examples; vague and tricky questions have been removed in favor of questions that are objectively answerable based on a simple reading of the module content.

We have also updated the way information is presented to maximize your understanding of the most important information, while minimizing very detailed resources/content into sections can be hidden when not being reviewed to minimize the amount of information you need to process at once and to avoid overwhelming you as you take the training. Be sure to keep an eye our for extra important information, which will be denoted with a ⚠️ NOTE icon at the start of the paragraph and will be highlighted in yellow. These ⚠️ NOTE sections contain the most important bits of information that ASUC Finance wants ASUC/GA Agents to take away from this training, and they will often reiterate or distill the content from an entire section into a bite-sized reminder. It is crucial that you pay close attention to these ⚠️ NOTE sections and take the time to review the preceding content again if you are unclear on that information.

Each module contains a graded quiz (Module 3 is split into two parts, Module 3A and Module 3B, and each part has its own quiz). An average score of 80% across the six quizzes (with at least 50% on each quiz) is required to pass this training. You will not be able to move on to a new module until you score at least 50% on the previous module quiz. All quizzes must be completed to receive credit for this course and to be granted ASUC/GA Agent status on CalLink. Agent status is updated within seven (7) business days of receiving a passing 80% score on this course. We will not notify you when you are added as an ASUC/GA Agent user on CalLink, so please be sure to check proactively on your own to confirm you have been added to the correct rosters successfully.

Use the discussion forum at the end of each module to provide feedback for improvement on content, design, and flow. This section may also be used to pose additional questions related to module's content. Discussion forums are optional.

Once you get to the end of the training, please be sure to submit the ASUC/GA Agent Status Request "assignment" after Module 5 in order to actually request to be added as an Agent to your CalLink roster.

Separate from the modules, you can easily find information about ASUC Finance office hours and links to all of the forms, documents, and other resources referenced throughout this training by using the navigation buttons at the top of the homepage of the training. These resources can be accessed at any time before, during, and after the training.

Whenever you are ready, proceed to Module 1: Introductions & Definitions to begin the ASUC/GA Agent training!
