Information Systems Access

Requests for Information Systems Access 

Faculty, staff and student employees can obtain an information systems account to access the university’s information systems for Student Information, Admissions, Financial Records, Human Resources and Financial Aid Management. At this time, the university is currently in a transition period, moving from the TOA/FRS Information Systems to PeopleSoft.

Please follow the directions below for obtaining or modifying an information system account:

• The supervisor and employee should read and understand the University Guidelines for Responsible Computing and the Certification of Security for Towson University Information Systems.

These two documents outline the responsibilities as a computer user at Towson University, examples of inappropriate behavior, how to report a violation and the consequences of violating these guidelines, as well as the responsibilities in accessing and using the information systems of the university.

• Determine what access is necessary for your particular job. Discuss with your supervisor to determine what access is needed. Access to different information systems include:



• Email (non-Towson employee/student)
• ImageNow
• Oracle
• PeopleSoft
• TOA/FRS

Queries and ad hoc reporting may also be requested. However, some costs may be involved.

• To gain access to one or more of information systems:



• Complete the Account/Data Access Request form online. The form may also be obtained on the TU Forms Repository. You may wish to speak with your supervisor for assistance in filling out the form.
• Your will need to print out the form. Both you and your department head must sign the form. For non-Towson employees, the department head must be a full-time Towson employee. Fax the completed form to OTS at 410-704-4656.

• OTS will contact you when the account is ready.
