    • Complete the CITI Training and save your Completion Certificate when you finish.  Students will be asked to set up an account and choose their affiliation (CUNY). Students should complete the Human Subjects Research (HSR) for the social and behavioral sciences module set. Students should identify themselves as undergraduate students in the social sciences. From here, students can complete each module of the course. A score of 80% correct is required to pass the training, and all students need to print out a certificate of completion when they are done. The online training generally takes one to two hours to complete.
    • Upload your CITI Completion Certificate to Blackboard
