• Accounts Payable: This module is now live. Please email all invoices and Accounts Payable Payment Request Forms to invoices@stolaf.edu for processing. You can find directions for this process here.
  • Oracle will capture any invoices from this inbox and pull them into the system. 
• Oracle Expenses: This module is now live. Once you have coded your December statement, you will no longer need to log into Wells Fargo. You can find directions for Oracle Expenses here.
• Cost Center Security: In Oracle, you will only have access to specific cost centers to charge invoices, create expense reports, and view reports.
  • Because we are still working on creating a process to request changes, please email engle1@stolaf.edu if you need access to additional cost centers. 
• Activity Codes: Previously, activity codes had different purposes across campus and were not defined in Lawson. In Oracle’s “Activity” segment, all values need to be defined. Please reach out to Nate Engle at engle1@stolaf.edu if you need to set up these values in Oracle. In your email to Nate, please describe how you use activities in Lawson and provide a listing of the values that you use.
• TIAA: we are now in the blackout period, which has been extended to January 15, 2024, during which you will not be able to access TIAA or make changes to your retirement contributions.
  • You will receive information directly from TIAA about how to access TIAA through Oracle and about the steps you will need to take.
• Your W-2, annual salary letter, and 1095-C: Documents for 2023 and earlier years will still be available in Document Self-Service (DSS). Beginning in 2024, these documents will be available on Oracle.
  • We will notify you when your 2023 tax documents are available, which will be before January 31, 2024.
