Dear Colleagues, As we move into a new budget model, we must make changes to policy and procedure to ensure effective operations. One immediate change will be the process for cost center approval. When a new cost center is requested or updated, approvals must go through Teri Bieterman. The Chart of Accounts (COA) Maintenance Request form will be routed to her via email with a copy to your Department Chair or Immediate Supervisor, then she will route it further. This will allow our fiscal department to maintain an inventory of cost centers and ensure that the cost center is set up correctly. Please make sure all department/area and center faculty and staff are aware of this change. Thank you for your prompt attention to this.
