    2. Click the red help bubbles to assist you in making your selections.

    3. If you are requesting access to SIS, please review the following additional information:

      • I have changed departments:  If you have a SIS account but have changed units and need a new SIS account
      • I need access for my current account: If you have a SIS account but need additional access
      • I have a joint appointment with another dept and need to keep my current id: If you have a SIS account but need additional access to another unit that is not your primary HR appointment

      • You will receive an email once the request has been submitted.
      • Additional emails will be sent as actions are taken on the request. As access to individual systems is granted, emails will provide instructions on how to access and log in to each system.
