Finance System Access
Getting Started
Access to University financial systems requires completing applicable online or instructor-led training and submitting the appropriate system access request.
This webpage provides guidance on requesting access to the Finance System (PeopleSoft), Financial Reporting System (CU-Data), CU Marketplace, Concur Travel & Expense System, and Central Information Warehouse (CIW).
Access to these systems is limited to University employees and Persons of Interest (POIs) with Type 15 security access, subject to the necessary campus approvals.
Before You Request Access
Access to University financial systems should be granted thoughtfully and align with an employee's fiscal role and responsibilities. Individuals requesting these roles must know applicable fiscal and procurement policies, procedures, processes, and guidance before access is granted.
Before requesting access, consider:
- Does the access align with my current fiscal responsibilities?
- Am I requesting only the permissions necessary for my work?
- Could the requested access create a separation-of-duties concern?
- Do I understand the policies and internal controls associated with these roles?
CU Marketplace Approvers
CU Marketplace approvers must have a Fiscal Role assigned on the applicable SpeedTypes. The Officer role does not meet this requirement.
