Additional Tools (HRMS, AIS, eVA)

Following are some additional tools available through MyVWCC. Availability of some of these tools is dependent on your job function.

Human Resources Management System (HRMS)

HRMS is the system used to input your timesheet and absence information (if applicable). HRMS uses the same database and menu structure as SIS. You can access the HRMS functions through either system.

Administrative Information System (AIS)

You will only have access to AIS if your job requires it. AIS uses the same database and menu structure as SIS. The best way to learn how to use AIS is through on-the-job training with a co-worker.

Commonewealth of Virginia Electronic Procurement System (eVA)

eVA is used if there are procurement duties in your job. eVA is not part of MyVWCC, however, if you use AIS for procurement, you’ll also need access to eVA.
