Access to the CMS Project (PeopleSoft) applications is limited to members of the CSUDH faculty and staff who need to have that access in order to perform their work. This page is directed toward faculty and staff who need access to the Financials and/or Human Resources/Payroll PeopleSoft applications. Link to one of the following if you seek access to the PeopleSoft Student Administration application:

• CMS (PeopleSoft) Student Administration Financial Aid User Accounts
• CMS (PeopleSoft) Student Administration User Accounts (for access to any of the other Student Administration modules)

Note: Training is required before access to any of the PeopleSoft modules is granted. Contact the appropriate functional analyst to inquire about the next training date.

If you need to have a CMS User ID (i.e., an account on one of the applications), follow the directions below to request that access. Complete this form, also, if your access changes or if you are relinquishing prior access.

1. Access the Request for CMS User ID ( 467 KB).
2. Complete the top third of page 1. If you know your CSUDH username, enter it in the username box. If you don’t, leave that box blank.
3. If you already know your Primary Department ID, enter it in the Primary Dept ID box. If you don’t, leave that box blank.
4. After indicating that you need access to Financials or Human Resources/Payroll on page 1, specify the exact types of access you need on page 2.
5. Print the completed form.
6. Sign the agreement on the form to acknowledge that you’ve read and understand the appropriate uses for and responsibilities associated with CMS access.
7. Route the form to your department/supervisor for signature approval.
8. Route the approved form to your college administrator (dean or designee), if appropriate, and to your division administrator (vice president or designee or the Chief Information Officer) for authorized signature(s).
9. Leave the bottom portion of the form blank. That area will be filled in by CMS staff and signed by the Vice President for Administration & Finance.
10. Send the completed form to Administrative Information Systems, WH 380, for processing.

Note: Improperly authorized forms will be returned for correction.
