Why can't I access the HR Self Service portal?
There may be technical issues related to your computer's browser or VPN software that are preventing you from accessing the portal:
- You must use Internet Explorer browser on a Windows computer, or Firefox or Chrome on a Mac to access HR Self Service. Refer to Supported browsers and settings for University Business Applications for more information.
- Pop-ups must be enabled on your browser for certain tasks (for ex, viewing your paystub). Refer to Web Browsers: How to enable or disable pop-up blockers for more information.
- If you are trying to access HR Self Service from off-campus, a Princeton VPN connection is not necessary; however you may need a VPN connection if your personal firewall is disallowing the connection. If you have configured your firewall to allow only port 80 connections via http, then you will not be able to connect to HR Self Service portal, as it uses port 7002. A Princeton VPN connection often seems to fix this home connection problem, because a firewall can be configured to allow a VPN connection and will transmit data to and from any port on campus.
