CUIT Administrative System Accounts

Requesting Access to Administrative Systems Supported by CUIT

The CUIT Administrative ID is used to access certain central University business systems/applications. These IDs are assigned by either CUIT or the departmental data custodian and authorized by each system's departmental data custodian. The Applications page provides more information and contact names for each application.

Fill out the CUIT Administrative ID Request Form to access these systems:
  • Accounts Payable (AP/CAR)
  • Data Warehouse (DWS)
  • Financial Accounting System (FAS)
  • Labor Distribution System (LDS)
  • Purchasing System (CAPS)
  • Sponsored Projects Tracking  (SPOTS)
Fill out the FFE Application Form to access FFE.
Fill out the SIS Application Form to access SIS
Fill out the People @ Columbia Form to access PAC.

After you have filled out your request, it will be forwarded to CUIT and the appropriate data custodian or contact person for authorization.

Please note: When the owner of the CUIT Administrative ID leaves the University or changes jobs, the manager or department administrator MUST notify CUIT Information Security Services so that the ID can be deleted.

When your request is processed, you will be notified by local mail of your ID and password. You may also be notified by the data custodian, who will give you any appropriate logon information and arrange for any necessary training. Requests for access to more than one application may take longer, as each data custodian must approve access.
