Guidelines for Transferring Across Funds

As a reminder, rules for making transfers across funds using net position transfers or expense reclassifications are established by Budget and Resource Management and have been updated recently. Refer to Guidelines for Transferring Monies Across Funds available on the Budget and Resource Management website should you have questions or need clarification.

Guidance for Funding Extraordinary Expenses Related to COVID-19

As a reminder, journals to support extraordinary COVID-19 related expenses recorded using Project 2014758 must be completed no later than the appropriate fiscal year-end close deadline for FY 2020-21 balances. Review the Guidance for Handling Financial Implications of COVID-19 on how to apply funding sources to support these expenses. Please complete journals to support expenses as early as possible to avoid last-minute delays. Contact your Control Point financial leadership with any questions. Questions can also be addressed to [email protected].

Scheduling Reports

You can use the scheduling feature in MyReports to automate production and delivery of your reports for the June Prelim, Interim, and Final Close. To use this feature, schedule your desired reports to run "At campus month-end close." The MySchedule function will deliver the report the day after the close date (e.g., on Saturday, July 10 for June Prelim) and notify the designated recipients by email.
