Access Approvals

After logging in, click the 'Jobs awaiting your approval' link in the 'Approvals' tile on your dashboard. On the 'Manage approvals' page, click 'View' for the PD or job requisition you need to review.

You must have supervisor-level permissions to approve requisitions. If you are unable to approve a requisition due to your permissions, contact the hiring manager to have the approval reassigned. If you believe you should have supervisor-level permissions, contact mytrackhelp@uoregon.edu.
