Introduction
The aim of the Annual Refresher briefing is to reinforce the initial security briefing information that you received when your clearance was granted. Also, the purpose is to inform you of significant changes in security procedures/requirements promulgated by the Government. With the advent of the Electronic Questionnaire For Investigation Processing (e-QIP), this year marks the most major changes in security procedures in many years. Because the changes brought about by e-QIP are so significant, an addendum to this briefing is devoted to explaining these changes and the new requirements impacting you if you plan to continue with your security clearance. You are not being asked to complete an e-QIP SF86 application at this time. The addendum is a reference guide for future action.
Your Responsibility
We encourage you to carefully review the material in this briefing to better understand various security policies to be carried out in the performance of your University-sponsored security clearance. The e-QIP Applicant Instruction Guide reproduced herein should be retained for future reference when you will be required to provide data for your reinvestigation.
