To Postdoc Administrators---

New J-1 Submission Process – Training Session for Postdoctoral Administrators and for Faculty Affairs Administrators

Clark Center Auditorium, Thursday 3/18. 10 -11 a.m. (Arrive early. Session will start promptly at 10; location: http://biox.stanford.edu/clark/operations_map.html. You can take the staircase, next to the Nexus Café, down to the lower level or there is an elevator in both wings.)

The process to submit DS-2019 requests for J-1 visas for postdocs, visiting researchers and visiting scholars is moving to PeopleSoft in a few weeks. If you submit DS-2019 requests, plan to attend this training session in order to familiarize yourself with the new interface and workflow. This system, when it goes live, will replace the current web form you use. The new process will be an improvement for departments and we are excited to show you how it will function. Bechtel will also be asking soon for volunteers to test it from a departmental level. Some of the functions of the new system include:

--the ability to save a form and complete it later

--see a history of transactions

--highlighting mandatory fields

--drop down menus

OPA strongly encourages you to attend this important session order to in prepare yourself for a smooth transition to the PeopleSoft interface! If you attended any of the sessions offered earlier at the Bechtel Center, you do not need to attend this one.
