If a user in the FIS routing chain is unavailable to approve a time sensitive document, that document may be eligible for "super approval." This process by-passes the routing chain and sends the document directly into Approved status.

In order for a document to be “super approved,” there must be exposure to significant repercussions for the university. Examples might be legal, reputational, or personal implications for the recipient of the funds. FMS does realize that unusual circumstances arise so special requests will be considered.

Requests for super approval must be in writing and include a description of why the approval is needed and what the ramifications are if it is not approved in the timeframe the unit is requesting.

• On the Bloomington campus these requests should be directed to Rozzie Gerstman at gerstma@indiana.edu.
• On the Indianapolis campus, these requests should be directed to Bobbie Sewell at basewell@iupui.edu or Juletta Toliver at jtoliver@iupui.edu.
• Other campuses should direct these requests to Mary Byrde mbyrde@indiana.edu or Joan Hagen jhagen@indiana.edu.

Submission of a request does not guarantee super approval will occur. The unit making the requests will be notified of the decision.
