Computer Security Clearance

How to get computer access and email for new NRCS Employees and Non-NRCS Employees:

In order to get access to a NRCS computer and email, the employee first must take the “Privacy Awareness Training” and the “Computer Security Awareness Training”. Both tests are available at the links below. The paper test is used only for new employees requesting computer access for the first time. The following year, the employee will be requested to take both tests in AgLearn.

The employee is also required to send in a security package. A list is provided below and the forms can be found under “Forms for Security Clearance”. The Area office can provide the finger print cards.

The Supervisor will need to fill out and sign the Request for User Access to ITS Resources.

Send the completed documents for a security clearance and security training paperwork to Human Resources at the State Office.

Instructions for the security training:

• Print both training courses.
• Read and take the pretest
• Take the final Test
• Certify the training by filling out and signing the form at the end of the training guide.
