The Change Control (CC) Request Process governs how enhancements to the CHRS system are submitted, reviewed, approved and prioritized.
Main Stages
-
Requester Submits a Request
- A CC request is submitted in ServiceNow
-
Chair/Co-Chair Prepares the Request
- The Chair/Co-Chair reviews the request and places it on the agenda for discussion
-
Subcommittee Discussion and Recommendation
- The Subcommittee reviews the request to evaluate CSU business needs, confirm requirements, and recommend priorities
- Outcomes:
- If the Subcommittee does not recommend approval → the process ends, and the requester is informed
- If the Subcommittee recommends approval → the request moves forward with a recommended priority
-
Change Control Committee Evaluation
- The committee reviews approved requests to determine whether the enhancement should be added to the CHRS Roadmap
- Outcomes:
- No → the process ends, and the requester/stakeholders are informed
- Yes → the request is approved and then added to the CHRS Roadmap with priority
-
Communication to Stakeholders
- At each decision point (approval, rejection, or Roadmap update), requesters, SWHR, and HUG are informed of the outcome. This ensures transparency and alignment across all CSU campuses.
Decision Points
- “Recommend Approval w/ Priority” is determined by the Subcommittee
- “Approves” is provided by the Change Control Committee

- Subcommittee: Reviews and recommends requests with priority
