SIS - Getting Started - Security Request
This document provides information on how to obtain SIS authorizations that are necessary to carry out department responsibilities and business processes using the online SIS Security form (or “eForm”) for new and current campus users.
Overview
The Student Information System, SIS, is the backbone that supports the student life cycle. This document provides information on how to obtain SIS authorizations that are necessary to carry out department responsibilities and business processes using the online SIS Security form (or “eForm”) for new and current campus users. This eForm will replace the existing DocuSign request form for non-student employees and will provide an automated process that will fulfill SIS security requests and approvals in a more efficient and timely manner.
Requirements Needed to Begin a SIS Security Request
- Requesters
- Must have employee access to SIS
- Must have the SIS Security Requests tile on their Administrative Home Page
- May not be a student employee
- Users the requests are made for
- Must have a current or future job appointment

General Notes for Using the SIS Security Request eForm
- The form cannot be saved so be prepared to complete the request once it has been started.
- Be as specific as possible when making your selections for security. Requests that are submitted without adequate information about the access that is needed will result in processing delays.
- Review the SIS Role Catalog to help determine roles needed before starting the request.
- There are notes, instructions and helpful tips on each page and section throughout the form.
