AccessTufts: Designed with You in Mind
Welcome to AccessTufts, a new administrative portal designed to help you get work done by putting everyday transactions at your fingertips.
Lights, Camera, AccessTufts!
Wouldn’t it be great if you could access services and resources from HR, Finance, IT, Operations and more without having to search multiple websites? How about step-by-step instructions for processes that span many administrative areas at Tufts?
AccessTufts, Phase I, is beginning to bring these things to life! We’re working to make it easier for the Tufts community to get work done, find and use various forms of data, explore departments, read the latest Tufts news and locate upcoming events all in one place. Come tour the site with us!
Home Page
Beginning with a highlighted feature story and links to popular services, the home page invites you to learn about key initiatives and find information relevant to staff and administrators on campus. AccessTufts also creates a direct connection to resources from tufts.edu, creating a robust source of centralized information for employees.
Get Work Done
This is the heart of AccessTufts, providing direct access to employee information and benefits, as well as transactions and forms for common Finance, IT, HR, and Operations tasks. This includes everything from time off and leave of absence request forms to event planning and business travel checklists!
Data
Analyzing and using relevant data is increasingly important in higher education. The data section of AccessTufts brings together data sources you can use in your work as well as key facts about the University. We want to make it easy to find and access this data as a first step toward unified data access and strategy in support of decision-making at Tufts.
Departments
This directory of administrative offices and campus resources provides direct links to departmental websites outside of AccessTufts.
News
Hear ye! Hear ye! Read all about it! We’ve brought together curated news stories from TuftsNow that are important to faculty and staff. You might find stories related to work-life balance, updates on employee benefits like open enrollment, or announcements about budget season, the annual community appeal, and more.
Events
Don’t miss out on interesting events at Tufts! AccessTufts highlights upcoming meetings, seminars, and social gatherings for employees. The events section links directly to events.tufts.edu, allowing you to sort and filter by theme and quickly add events to your personal calendar.
Need Help?
Looking for assistance with Finance, HR or IT tasks? AccessTufts includes links to request forms and contact information for Tufts Support Services and Tufts Technology Services on every page. Get answers to your questions online, on the phone, or in person.
Feedback
If AccessTufts already feels familiar, that’s because we built it with your needs in mind and we worked to align the design and functionality with tufts.edu to create a more seamless experience.
AccessTufts will evolve over time to include additional transactions and employee-focused content. To do that work successfully, the AccessTufts project team needs your input. Please let us know how you think we can improve the site. How can we make it easier to use? What key transactions are missing? Would your team or department like to showcase content here to make it easier for employees to find and use?
The success of AccessTufts will be a collaborative, cross-campus effort. We hope you’ll join us.
