HR Update

MyU and PeopleSoft Applications Unavailable October 19-20

Due to planned system maintenance, MyU and other PeopleSoft applications will be unavailable from noon Saturday, October 19, to noon Sunday, October 20. This upgrade helps the University’s PeopleSoft systems remain current and secure and ensures we retain Oracle support. This upgrade includes updates for absence-eligible employees.

Please make note of this outage and plan accordingly.

  • Those who use PeopleSoft will need to clear the cache on their web browser following this upgrade.
  • Some who use PeopleSoft will notice minor changes to the interface. 
  • Aside from downtime during the weekend, no significant impact is expected.
