On campus, you can use go/oracle/ or visit www.middlebury.edu/college (for VT) or www.middlebury.edu/institute/ (for MIIS), scroll to the bottom of the page, and click “Oracle Cloud” under “Quick Links.” Click on “Single Sign-On” or use your Middlebury email credentials to sign into Oracle.

If your Microsoft Apps page has rows of apps, most likely it has signed you into the wrong organization. Look in the upper right corner of the screen. If it says Middlebury College, you will need to change the organization to GMHEC. To do this, click on “Organizations” on the upper right corner (it’s a symbol of three squares) and select “Green Mountain Higher Education Consortium” under “Other organizations you belong to.” Once the page refreshes, you should see the Apps page you are use to.

Since it’s a new pay period, “Current Timecard” will not allow you to enter or edit hours for the last pay period. Under “Time and Absences,” click “Existing Timecard,” and then “Add.” On this next screen, please ensure you change the date to any day in the previous timecard; otherwise, Oracle will only allow you to edit for the current timecard. After that, you will be able to enter and submit your timecard as you normally do.

For each time entry, a payroll time type must be entered. To do this after you’ve entered a time entry, edit the time entry and select the correct payroll time type.

To set up direct deposit, sign into Oracle and click on “Pay,” then “Payment Methods.” This process includes two steps, and if they are not both completed, the direct deposit will not be set up. The first step is setting up the bank account(s). The second step is letting Oracle know what account(s) you would like to use for your pay, and if choosing to do a split payment, how much you would like to go into each account.

Check out a helpful guide here.

If you’ve done both of these steps and are still not receiving direct deposits, please contact payroll@gmhec.org.

If you need to make a correction for the current or the last pay period, but have already submitted your time card, you can go back into the time card, make the edits, and resubmit. If you notice an error with an earlier pay period, please reach out to hr@middlebury.edu.
