CMS advances with ‘My Sac State’

Self service took on a whole new meaning for Sacramento State employees at the end of the spring semester.

Last May, University employees, including student assistants, were introduced to an innovative portal called ‘My Sac State’, a gateway to access their self-service human resources information. When visiting ‘My Sac State’ (my.csus.edu), employees were provided a new approach to view or update their human resources benefits, payroll and personal information including compensation history. The gateway became the single point of entry for employees to view their self-service features and access the HR and finance applications within CMS.

And it doesn’t end there. In the months ahead, ‘My Sac State’ will be rolling out additional self-service features for faculty, staff, and students. “By mid- to late October, University employees will be able to view their vacation and sick leave balances,” says Jeanette Norton, CMS project director.

There’s more in store for students as well. Applicants will find information on their application status via ‘My Sac State.’ The applicant page will be available as early as this month and will include a “To Do List” feature to keep students apprised of the next steps in the application process.

Both applicants and current students will be able to review and update their personal information and will have helpful links of particular interest such as financial aid, Sacramento State events, degree evaluations and the course catalog.

“As student administration is being implemented in phases, ‘My Sac State’ will be attaining more features while CasperWeb will be phased out,” explains Norton. Students can currently access their information online through CasperWeb, but it has limited availability. ‘My Sac State’ will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Work will continue on ‘My Sac State’ for another year. By fall 2007, faculty will be able to access their class schedules, advise students, view enrollment rosters and grade students via ‘My Sac State.’
