Onboarding Steps to be Followed

1a) If your Terrier Temp needs just a BUID# and BU email: request a BU email address by completing this form: www.bu.edu/tech/services/support/iam/authentication/kerberos/kerberos

1b) If your Terrier Temp also needs a Terrier Card (for building access), you must complete step 1a, then have them visit either: Human Resources at 25 Buick Street on the Charles River Campus, or the Public Safety Department Office on the Medical Campus.

1c) If your Terrier Temp needs access to BUworks/SAP, do not complete step 1b until below steps are completed:

  1. Create a “Non-Compensated” position in SAP. (OM)
    • Job = 20001553 “Non-Compensated Staff”
    • Long Position Name:
      • Terrier Temp
  2. Enter the individual’s information into the non-compensated position you created in SAP (PA).
  3. Once the individual is moved into this position in SAP, the system will automatically generate a UID number. This number will be available in your worklist.
  4. Complete step 1a above using the system generated BUID#
2) If the Terrier Temp will be in a Laboratory Setting:

  • Laboratory Safety Training

Laboratory safety training can be completed in the RIMS website. Typically, individuals will need to take the Universal, BSL1 and BSL2 courses and pass the quiz. Because the system takes few days to update the records, we recommend individuals send a screen shot showing their quiz results to the IBC office at ibc@bu.edu or the IACUC office at iacuc@bu.edu.

  • ROHP clearance

Please download the Initial Health questionnaire (if the individual has never completed this form before) or the Annual Health Questionnaire (if the individual has provided this information previously). The PI is responsible for completing the first page of the form regarding general information of the lab and the type of biological exposure the volunteer will encounter. The volunteer should enter his/her personal information then email the completed form to the ROHP at rohp@bu.edu.

The IBC and ROHP offices will process these applications as quickly as feasible. If you have any questions, please contact the IBC at ibc@bu.edu (617-638-4531), the IACUC at iacuc@bu.edu (617-638-4596) or the ROHP at rohp@bu.edu (617-414-7647).
