Approval Password in Colleague for purchases

Tags Colleague

This procedure must be performed individually by each approver to ensure password confidentiality. You must log into Colleague when you have been set up and enter an approval password. Failure to do this leaves your approval open and anyone in the University can approve on your behalf. This is a very important step to complete as soon as you receive access to approve.

1.  Log in to Colleague. https://ecu-production.colleagueservices.ca/ui/home/index.html  If you need help with logging in, please click here. Make sure you mention "Colleague login issue" in the ticket description

2.  Click on Navigate at the middle top right and select CF if it's not all ready highlighted. Then 'X' out of it.

3.  In the search box, type in APPW

5.  then enter a password for approving requisitions.  It must be different from your Colleague login password.  We recommend something simple that you can easily remember so you can approve reqs when you get the requisition approval email.  You will have to confirm by entering it again.
