The Peoplesoft Security Request Form, found at http://www.wesleyan.edu/finance/formslist.html, is used to request new or modify existing security. Users can complete the form online and click the “Submit” button in the upper right corner of the form. This process actually submits the form via Outlook email. Users can verify that the form was successfully submitted by checking the “Sent Items” folder in Outlook.
