How can I update my personal information (e.g., address, phone number)?

To update your personal information, such as your address or phone number, please visit the GUIDE for Employee Dashboard. This online reference will guide you in updating your information in the Employee Dashboard.

I need to change my department or job title.  How can I do this?

Changes to your department or job title are considered WSU information changes. These updates can only be made by your manager. Please inform your manager of the required changes, and they will need to send an email to HR.ServiceCenter@wichita.edu with the details of the change request.

Can I request a change in my WSU information directly through the HR Employee Dashboard?

No, changes to company information such as your department or job title cannot be made through the HR Employee Dashboard. These changes must be initiated by your manager through an email request to HR.ServiceCenter@wichita.edu.

My listed manager is incorrect.  How can I update this information?

The listed manager for an employee is considered WSU information and an email request with the correction would have to be submitted to HR.ServiceCenter@wichita.edu.

How long does it take for changes to be reflected in Active Directory?

The time it takes for changes to be reflected in the system can vary. Personal information changes made through the HR Employee Dashboard are typically updated within an hour. However, WSU information changes requested via email may take longer, depending on the processing time of the HR department. WSU information that is updated will be reflected in Active Directory the following day.
