Which training do I take? 

Student, Employee, or Other?

EHS defines employees as individuals who are paid by the university. This includes part-time and full-time staff, faculty, and any student or graduate student who is paid by the university for work or research. 

EHS defines students or "other" as individuals who are not paid by the university. This includes volunteers, visiting scholars or researchers, or other individuals who are not on university payroll.
