RCR Course Information
I completed the CITI RCR training at my former institution. Can I receive credit for the RCR course at UK?
The training must have been taken within the last 12 months and must contain the same modules as the UK CITI RCR (Basic stage). For approval, send the "Completion Report" to RCR@uky.edu.

Am I able to quit the CITI RCR course and return to complete it later?
Yes. CITI allows you to complete the course at your own pace. You may quit and return to the course later. However, you must quit after taking the quiz for a particular module, not DURING the taking of that quiz, or your answers will not be recorded.
- Go to your UK Courses page:
- Scroll to "Active Courses":
- Find the RCR course:
- Click the button to continue:
You will be able to start at either the next module or, if you did not complete a module and need to take the quiz, at the module that you were viewing previously.
Are there RCR optional modules pertaining to my discipline that I can complete?
Yes, they are referred to as "Supplemental Modules". You may complete any module(s) you choose under "Supplemental Modules".
Optional modules available:
- Communicating with the Public;
- Presentation of Research Findings;
- Financial Responsibility;
- Introduction to RCR;
- Environmental and Social Dimensions of Engineering Research;

Will the RCR optional modules affect my overall grade?
No, the RCR optional (Supplemental) modules will not affect your overall course percentage.
Is there a paper-based alternative for the UK CITI RCR course if I do not have access to a computer?
If extenuating circumstances prohibit access to a computer, contact Jennifer Hill (jen.hill@uky.edu, 859-257-2978) to obtain an alternate paper-based course and exam.
