The last 3 steps above validate that the information entered matches your information with our Human Resources department (same as shown in ADP)

Enter a User Id - please use the same id as you are currently using to log into the network, usually first initial and last name
Enter a password, it is case sensitive and requires at least 10 characters, must contain at least 2 numbers, and have one upper case letter.
Enter your email address.

After completing the setup, if you see a “Sign out” option on the top right it will take you back to the sign-on page.

Select “Profiles and Preferences”, then
“Review/Edit Profile”

Select the Organizational Data tab and under HR Information, confirm that you are on a record that reads “Active” under the Employee Status. If you have multiple active records, by using the arrows on the top right (First<1of?>Last) select the record that has the Default Profile option checked.
The account string shown in the “Default Chartfield Values” section is the information that will default when you create an expense. The fund, program, class, budget ref, and department must be entered. Project code is optional. There is usually an administrative assistant or budget manager for each department who has this information. Once this information is set up, it will default to each expense when it is created.
Budget Ref is based on the current fiscal year.
