COLTS III Login

Note: This application is secure and can only be accessed by authorized application users. See CIT's Kerberos Authentication Web site for help topics.

Important: Remember to close the time card, log out of Kerberos (exit the key), and close all open browser windows on a shared computer to ensure that another user does not access your time card.

Cornell's Online Time-Collection System (COLTS) is used by:

Hourly employees:

  • To record in/out times as they are worked
  • To record leave time (e.g., vacation, personal, etc.) as it is taken
  • To process prior-period corrections
  • To approve their time card
  • To review accrual balances (e.g., vacation balance, sick time balance)

Supervisors and pay reps:

  • To review time cards
  • To process prior-period corrections
  • To approve time cards

All time cards must be approved by the employee, the employee's supervisor, and the employee's pay rep before submission to the Payroll Office. COLTS III can be used in conjunction with the Kronos time collection system by multiple-job employees.

COLTS III is a Web-based application requiring Kerberos authentication. Users must be logged in with their Kerberos NetID and password. It is important that employees remember to close their time card, log out of Kerberos (exit the key), and close all open browser windows on a shared computer. Failure to do so will allow the next user to access the previous user's time card, as well as the ability to make changes to the time card.

Note: In accordance with university policy, no changes can be made to 4742 or 4743 object codes, and hours can not be charged across endowed and contract college accounts.
