Financial Management

We will continuously improve our policies and procedures in order to meet campus needs to the fullest extent possible. We will take advantage of technological advances to improve the efficiency of our processes for the benefit of our campus partners.

We are working to close out the HEERF grant over the coming months.   We have modified our previous guidance to allow departments to encumber HEERF funds for previously approved projects according to the following guidance:

At this time, we require that each area submit all its requisition requests for HEERF approved projects by April 30th. Doing so will ensure our Purchasing team can coordinate the request timely without negatively affecting current operations and any year-end closing requests.

Below is a list of what to checkoff to ensure all HEERF funding is properly expensed timely: 

  • All requisition requests need to be submitted to Purchasing by April 30th.
  • All requests must stay within previously approved budget.
  • All items need to be on hand and delivered by the HEERF deadline. 
    • This date will be updated shortly once we get the official cost extension. 
  • No prepayments of products or services

Thank you in advance for all your help in ensuring we follow guidelines associated with HEERF funding.
