Preview of myURHR’s Security Role Review Process
It’s imperative that everyone in the University community has the appropriate security access to perform essential job functions within myURHR when it is live this fall.
Over the coming weeks, HR Business Partners will reach out to department leaders and administrators with information on the process to carefully review security roles and confirm the appropriate individuals are assigned to each department role. This work will not only support extensive security configuration happening in Workday and UKG but also help to preserve the integrity and appropriate access required for each University department.

Total Rewards
Updating Your Beneficiaries
Retirement plan assets are transferred according to the terms of your plan’s beneficiary designation, rather than by the terms of your will. Make sure your beneficiary information reflects your current wishes. Go to TIAA to register or log in to your account. Once logged in, under the “Actions” tab, choose “Add/Edit Beneficiaries.” From there, you can designate beneficiaries and select how much each should receive.
