Changes to THE goSFU Access Request Form

The new goSFU Access Form is now available.

Once the goSFU Access Form is submitted, both the employee and the supervisor need to take additional actions:

  • The employee will receive a request in their personal SFU account to complete a Privacy and Confidentiality Agreement.
  • The supervisor will receive a request in the email address listed on the form to approve the employee's access.

Notifications will be sent through email and Microsoft Teams (if used). To avoid delays, please ensure the employee and supervisor check their notifications regularly to complete the process.

Request Access

FAQs for Supervisors

HOW DO I EXTEND MY EMPLOYEE'S ACCESS?

As of August 20, 2024, access expiry email reminders are no longer sent to supervisors, and they are no longer required to request an extension of access, though exceptions may apply.

Instead, goSFU access will automatically be extended or disabled based on the employee's employment record in myinfo.sfu.ca. Please ensure that employment records are updated promptly to prevent any disruption in access.

HOW DO I UPDATE MY EMPLOYEE'S ACCESS?

If your employee requires a change in access, submit a new goSFU Access Form to authorize and update their access.

HOW DO I UPDATE ACCESS FROM TEMPORARY TO CONTINUING?

As of August 20, 2024, supervisors no longer need to submit a goSFU Access Form to transition an employee's access from temporary to continuing. Based on employment records, goSFU access will be automatically updated to continuing status if the employee is confirmed as continuing in the same position for which they were initially granted temporary access.

HOW DO I REMOVE MY EMPLOYEE'S ACCESS?

If your employee no longer requires access, contact goSFU Help to have the access associated with their position removed.
