GFS Approver Roles
Every transaction in GFS requires 2 types of approvals. Ideally, one person would enter the aid line, another person would approve the entry from the student’s Home Department, and another person would approve use of the PTA. Individuals can take several roles.
GFS Home Department Approver
Each department is required to have at least one Home Department Approver (HDA) who will approve transactions for any type of student in that department. This responsibility can be shared although each transaction only requires one Home Department Approval.
Requests for changes to home department approvers should be submitted by GFS Authority Grantors through a GFS Service Now Ticket.
