Requesting a VCU Health Email Account

Authors list

Overview

This process should be completed by a supervisor or HR administrator.

As of 09/01/21 this guide is no longer considered production.

Certain portions of the process have changes as VCU Health has migrated to a new HR management system, Workday. 

To find out more about Workday: https://vcuhealth.service-now.com/sp?id=workday_hub 

We have noticed some SOM administrators do not have the necessary access within Workday to onboard new employees.

  • If this is the case, please email HR4U@vcuhealth.org and request access for onboarding SOM employees via Workday
  • If you do not receive an update from HR4U after 48 hours - please contact SOMTech and we will follow up ASAP.

Things are changing frequently and we will strive to update this guide as we find out new information.

Currently, the following screenshot is the best reference guide available for onboarding a new employee into VCU Health HR's Workday.

We're working to confirm that this guide is accurate and up-to-date.

After the new employee has been entered into Workday, a ticket can be submitted via Keystone to request the actual email account.

    Not all administrators will be automatically listed as an eligible approver in the new system.
    If you (the requestor) are not listed as the Current Approving Manager, then try checking Alternate Approver Needed and search for yourself in the Alternate Approver dropdown menu.
    If you are still unable to list yourself as an alternate approver then stop this process and follow up in an email to SOMSecurity@vcuhealth.org (or submit a ticket to us at https://go.vcu.edu/SOMTicket).
