Easier Process for Completing Employee Attestation using the “WSU Mobile” App

A much easier process for completing employee attestation using the “WSU Mobile” App – launched this week:

  1. If you haven’t already downloaded and installed the WSU App, please do that first. You can downloading the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
  2. If you haven’t already logged into the WSU App, please do that next.
  3. Open the App.
  4. Locate the new Attestation tile. If you have previously customized the locations of the tiles in your App, the attestation tile may be located at the bottom of the list. Otherwise, it should appear at the top.
  5. View your attestation status.
  6. Update your attestation status.

What’s new?

In response to feedback from students, faculty and staff, we are excited to announce the following enhancements to the existing Attestation framework:

  • A new “live” Attestation tile within the WSU App.
    • This new tile eliminates the need for multi-factor authentication (or MFA). As soon as a person opens the App on their device (with the single press of a finger), they will see their attestation status. This will simplify and shorten the processes of attesting and demonstrating one’s attestation status to gain access to physical campus resources.
    • This new tile allows Students, Faculty and Staff to submit their daily attestation directly from the App—again, without triggering MFA.
  • An automated data feed between the Arrival Testing locations in Pullman and myWSU. The data is transferred in near-real-time.
  • A new step in the Attestation process that determines whether or not a person must complete Arrival Testing in order to get the “Good-To-Go” screen. This is currently limited to Pullman students.
  • Improved accessibility to more quickly and clearly communicate a person’s attestation status.

In addition to these enhancements, the same attestation procedures that existed within myWSU for Fall 2020 will continue to be available to students, faculty and staff.

The employee attestation process instructions have also been updated to reflect these enhancements.
