PASS - Requesting Access (Staff)

Summary

FAQ and the process for requesting PASS Access for New and Current Employees

Body

NEW AND CURRENT EMPLOYEES

Following these steps will ensure new and current employees get PASS access quickly and the access needs for their job responsibilities. 


1. IS THE EMPLOYEE PROCESSED BY HUMAN RESOURCES?

Human Resources has to complete all processing so the employee has a UW-Platteville Username and Password.  Please verify with the ITS Help Desk if the new or current employee has an active account. Have the new employee get their account from the ITS Help Desk and log into PASS to verify the username and password is working and to create the PASS account.
Employees can have an account created up to 90 days before their start date so it is very important to work with HR on completing all the necessary steps to make the employee official and get them a UW-Platteville account.
 

2. WHAT TYPE OF ACCESS DOES THE EMPLOYEE NEED?

If you are unsure of what access or roles are needed please contact the department you are requesting access from. The four common departments for PASS data are Admissions, Student Records (Registrars), Student Financials (Cashiers), and Financial Aid. Each of these four departments has a PASS functional analyst that knows the access and roles for their department. They can either suggest a role or work with ITS on creating a new one.
