Student Request System Update
  • The academic student requests previously routed through e-Biz will now be routed through the new UNI Workflow system.  Although it will have a new look and feel, the process will not change.
  • Users will continue receiving notifications via email. Alternatively, all requests in your workflow may be accessed directly through the UNI Workflow section in the Work@UNI tab of myUNIverse:
UNI Workflow in Student Information System
  • There are a number of requests submitted prior to August 14th, 2024 that are making their way through the e-Biz system, but that system will be discontinued once those requests have been resolved.  This means that for a short period of time, you may still receive and need to approve/reject e-Biz student requests. To expedite the transition, we are asking that you please complete any outstanding student request approvals as soon as possible.
