RIT utilizes the Oracle Financial applications for its purchasing, accounts payable, general ledger, and fixed asset activities. Employees may obtain access to the financial applications to enter purchasing requisitions and journal entries, view accounts payable and other transactions on line and print various reports.
In addition to the Financial applications, RIT utilizes the Oracle Human Resource and Payroll modules, as well as the Manager and Employee Self Service applications.
The Oracle system gives you online access to your home page. Through your home page you can access the following Oracle features and functions:
- The Oracle Financial/Human Resource Applications (Purchasing Requisitions, Journal Entry, General Ledger, Fixed Assets), and Self–Serve responsibilities.
- Your personal payroll information through the RIT Employee Self–Serve responsibility.
- Your general preferences, (Password, Known As, E-Mail Notification options), Worklist, and Notification Rules through the RIT Workflow user responsibility.
Through the web at http://www.rit.edu/myinfo. This URL will take you to Oracle's log in screen, where you will type your Oracle username and password.
If you will be accessing the Oracle Financial applications (Purchasing Requisitions, Journal Entry, General Ledger, and Fixed Assets) you first have to install the Jinititator. Click on any of the applications to start the download process. You will only need to download the JInitiator the first time that you access the Oracle Financial applications.

If you have never had access to the Oracle Financial Applications, you must first attend an Oracle training class for the module that you wish to access. There are three workshops including Purchasing Requisitions, General Ledger Journal Entry Process and General Ledger Report and Inquiry. Workshop dates and registration information is located on the CPD web site.
Once you have attended Oracle training, complete a General Ledger Security Access form located in the Forms section of the Controller's Office web site and forward it to the Controller's Office for processing.
For course description, refer to the Center for Professional Development (CPD).
At the moment we don't offer a training session to learn how to use the Self-Serve application but you can find instructions on how to use the application in our web page.
