Payment Compass
Payment Compass is a self-service online tool developed by Integrated Procure-to-Pay Solutions (IPPS) to simplify the way payees do business with UC San Diego. Learn more about the use and benefits of the Payment Compass website below.
Payment Compass is accessible to external payees and the campus community.

Registering Faculty, Staff, and Students to receive payments
As on July 1st, 2020, any UC San Diego Employees (or Student Employees) should not register in Payment Compass. They should ensure that their information in UC Path is up-to-date.
Any non-employee Students should still self-register as before. Please refer to the Payment Compass Registration Knowledge Base Article for more directions on this process.
Registering affiliates, contingent workers, and former employees
When inviting an affiliate, contingent worker, or former employee to register in Payment Compass, you must send their invitation to register to a personal email address (example: @gmail.com, @yahoo.com, @hotmail.com, etc.) for the invitation and registration to be processed properly. These individuals should not be treated as employees, and they will not be able to access Payment Compass via Single-Sign On. They should use the personal email address that the invitation was sent to in order to access Payment Compass.
For Affiliates, please make sure their non-UCSD email address is not tied to their UCSD account.
