Requesting Service
Your PeopleSoft account is created with the predefined access based on your status with the university.
Each student will have access to their records through the home.apu.edu portal.
Each faculty member will have access to their class information through the home.apu.edu portal and to student information through the Student Services Center.
Staff will be given basic access that will not include access to student records or financial information.
For faculty and staff needing additional access their supervisor must submit the proper forms to the IT Support Center.
PeopleSoft Security Request forms may be found in the IT Forms section of the Support website. There is a separate form for each of the three (3) PeopleSoft environments (Finance, HR, & Student) currently supported. Access to information will be granted based on an individual's job role.
Help for Service
All support requests should be directed to departmental Data Analysts. Data Analysts provide the first level of support to their individual departments.
If the issue cannot be resolved by a departmental Data Analyst, it will be escalated to IT via a work ticket issued by the IT Support Center. The Support Center can be contacted via phone at (626) 815-6000 x5050 or by sending a message to support.apu.edu. Additional points of escalation exist within IT and the issue will be addressed as needed.
Customer Responsibilities
Customers are responsible for working with their designated Data Analysts, some of which are officially titled Data Analysts, while others serve in the role while working in a different job description. The Data Analysts provide a central point of knowledge management within the department, and are responsible for escalating issues they cannot resolve through the IT Support Center.
Service Level Agreement
Oracle PeopleSoft is generally available 24x7x365, with scheduled maintenance windows between 5:00 am to 7:00 am in the event of a need to temporarily bring systems offline to install software updates.
