The Costing, Pricing & Approval process is completed by Researchers before externally funded grants and consultancies are submitted to funding agencies. Access the system using your University ID and password.

## Access off Campus

The Costing, Pricing & Approval process uses an ANU built system. It can be accessed anywhere an internet connection can be established.

Should there be any connection problems it might be necessary to first connect to the [ANU Virtual Private Network (VPN)](https://services.anu.edu.au/information-technology/it-security/virtual-private-network) before accessing the system.
