Navigation
Log in to your Bridge@UofI Dashboard. Training that is required for all employees, or is required specifically for your position, will be found in the 鈥�required鈥� section.
Overdue courses will be listed in the 鈥�needs my attention鈥� section and highlighted in red.
Training that you have already finished is listed in the 鈥�completed鈥� section.
Journeys are learning paths consisting of Programs and other learning items.
In Bridge@UofI speak, enrolled in a Live Training means that you have been added to the Learner list, but you have not yet registered in a specific, dated session. Enrolled in a Course or Program means you are ready to start or continue that learning item (Courses and Programs do not have a registered status).

From your My Learning dashboard, locate the export transcript button, just below the banner image. Clicking this button will initiate the download of a .zip file containing a .csv file.
Once downloaded, you can open the .csv file to expand or sort the results as needed.
Change your My Learning dashboard view from Grid View to List View. Courses with attachments will have a paperclip icon that you can select to view all available attachments.
