Top Issues
REMINDER! September Month-End Close Deadline: Validated campus journal entries and data collect batches (journal imports) should be received by Accounting Services by close of business on (5 p.m.) Friday, September 28. Please remember that accounting will not receive the journal entries until the journal has been budget checked valid and has passed through all required approvals (including OSR, if necessary).
It is critical that journal imports with state funds are submitted on or before this date. Valid entries received past deadline, including valid entries pending departmental approval or with error status, will be deleted from the system.
Month-end close deadlines are continually updated on the Accounting Services webpage. Bookmark this page to see the latest info in between updates.
NEW! Employee Direct Deposit Form Submissions. The University requires all employees to be paid by direct deposit as mandated by University Policy 1106, Direct Payroll Deposit. Changes in direct deposit authorization should be submitted to Payroll Services by the employee in person in the Payroll Services office. This change is being made due to heightened security concerns surrounding this process. For more information, see the September 17 memo.
NEW! Opting Out of Paper W-2s for Calendar Year 2018. Employees can now opt-out of receiving paper W-2 forms beginning with the current 2018 calendar year. For more information, see the September 26 memo.
