Request to Exceed Time Threshold form

This article explains how to complete the Exceed TH Prior Approval Request form. Your Time Dashboard displays your time threshold and the hours you’ve reported:

• The blue bar indicates the hours reported within your time threshold.
• The gold bar shows the hours that exceed your time threshold.

If you surpass your time threshold, an "Exceed TH Prior Approval Request" form will be automatically generated in the Form/Queue column with a "Not Submitted" status. You’ll need to complete and submit this form for approval.

To complete the Request to Exceed TH form: 

1. Select the Request to Exceed TH form.

   

2. Enter an estimate of how many hours you expect to devote to the activity.
   Note: Once the Exceed Effort form is approved, your activity threshold will adjust. If you exceed your approved activity time threshold, another Exceed Effort Threshold form will be generated. To prevent multiple forms, it is good practice to provide a generous estimate of how much time you plan on devoting to the activity. 

   

3. Click the Request Approval button to submit the form. Once submitted, the form will process through your campus approval workflow, which will vary per campus. You will receive an email notification with the decision or if the form is returned to you. 
   
   Note: You cannot cancel the form unless you delete the effort that exceeded your threshold. As long as you are over the threshold for that activity, the form must be submitted.
