Starting June 15, 2026 – A new Field Advance assessment will be required to initiate a brand-new Field Advance. Field Advance “Spend Authorizations” will be approved once assessment scores have been reviewed by the Field Advance central office team. To pass the assessment, the requester and custodian must both obtain a passing score of 12 out of 12.
The scores must be earned within the last year. For example, earn a minimum of 12 out of 12 on the assessment on August 3, 2026, and that score will be valid through August 2, 2027.

The new assessment covers material from both the website and the job aid. Anyone taking the assessment will need to be logged into a UW Server (such as Husky OnNet: UW IT Husky OnNet) to take the assessment and have their score recorded.
