Questions

1. What are notification emails?

Emails sent about the status of the contract

Emails sent when you make an error on the contract

2. What happens when the link inside the email is click on?

You are taken to PeopleSoft and the Workflow list

You are taken to the myCSU home page to search for PeopleSoft

Question 2 is not correct. With the proper network connection and required access permissions, individuals who click the link provided in the email will be directed to their Workflow list after entering their user ID and password (please note: this password is specific to the system and is not the same as the network login).

If the contract does not appear in Workflow, please use the alternative method for locating or contact grad@csuohio.edu for further assistance.

3. What actions can be choosen on the Grad Hire Approval Page?

Approve, Reject, Stop

Approve, Deny, Recycle

Question 3 is not correct. Approvers may confirm the accuracy of the contract details by selecting “Approve”, which advances the contract to the next stage in the process. If any information within the contract is incorrect, select “Recycle” and include a note specifying the required corrections. Use “Deny” only in exceptional cases, as it halts all further processing. If a contract is denied, a new one must be initiated if continuation is deemed necessary.

4. What is the next step after Department Approval?

Graduate College Approval

College Approval

Question 4 is not correct. The approval workflow is determined by the funding source and the information provided by the originator at the time of contract initiation. Once a contract is submitted, it progresses through several potential approval levels: SPRS Approval, PI Approval, Department Approval, College Approval, and Graduate Studies Approval. SPRS and PI approvals are mandatory for contracts involving grant funding overseen by Sponsored Programs, while PI approval may also be included at the discretion of the originator for other funding sources.

5. What happens after Graduate College Approval?

An email is sent to the Student to come sign contract

The department has to contact the student to sign contract

Question 5 is not correct. Once all required approvals have been obtained, the GA contract will be sent to the student for signature via AdobeSign. Messaging accompanying the contract includes important details such as deadlines, pay dates, and, when applicable, information regarding tuition support. Compensation associated with the contract cannot be disbursed until the student has acknowledged and signed the agreement.
