James Madison University uses the PeopleSoft Finance System. We have over 500+ users on campus that have diverse capabilities in the system. Our departmental users have the ability to review budgets, expenditures, and run monthly summary and detail reports. Some users also have the ability to reconcile their Small Purchase Charge Card and/or cards issued to others in their department as well.

For those who need access to the Finance System in order to perform their job duties, an online Request Access Form must be submitted for approval. The employee, the employee's supervisor, or a 3rd party person can submit the request. The employee and their supervisor must approve the request before it is processed by the Finance Office. For more information, please visit the link below.

For SPCC Cardholders needing to add or remove reconcilers associated with their Small Purchase Charge Card, an electronic 'Manager Reconcilers Form' must be completed in the PeopleSoft Finance System to update their card.

The Signature Authority reports list the names of employees who currently have authority to approve electronic Cherwell IS Access requests, and identifies the Department Head who can approve electronic PeopleSoft Manage Department ID Forms. For all new department IDs, a Signature Authority Form will need to be completed and sent to Pam Crowe, MSC 5719 or crowepm@jmu.edu. For more information, please visit the link below.

To become a Finance System user you must complete a brief training session (Finance Overview - IT610 to run departmental reports). You can register for this training class through MyMadison.
