SMU Financials is a web based application that allows approved individuals to manage the financial debits and credits for their department. This application is only accessible from the SMU Network. Therefore, off campus access requires a VPN connection.
Permissions and Access
SMU Financials access should be requested by your Financial Officer. Once your financial officer submits their request and we are notified that you are ready for training you will receive information on how to access the SMU Financials course.
Q drive access
Important financial reports and queries are stored on the Q drive. Therefore, it may be necessary for some individuals to have access both to SMU Financials and the Q drive reports. Access to the Q drive must be requested via the Online Support Center by the supervisor as well.
