Faculty, staff, and students at the University receive an ID card for official identification that also acts as a physical key to provide access to permitted University locations. Information Security reminds you that having this access is a privilege that comes with responsibilities. You are not permitted to give individuals without an ID access into a building. Be sure to keep your ID card in your control at all times to prevent unauthorized access that can be traced back to you. Should you misplace your ID badge, report it immediately to the River Campus or Medical Center ID Card Office. When a replacement badge is issued or you leave the University as an employee, your badge must be returned to the ID Office. Find more information on ID cards here.
This month marks a key myURHR readiness checkpoint, and after a thorough review of current progress compared to an in-depth readiness analysis, it has become clear that extending the project timeline is beneficial for the University. The myURHR project has a new go-live date of Monday, December 16—an extension of approximately two and a half months. Extending the go-live date will allow for increased readiness for all by refining system configurations, conducting more thorough testing, and completing training. Read about the reasons for extending the go-live date to December and be on the lookout for more communications about myURHR Workday and UKG, the two systems replacing HRMS.
