Top Issues
NEW! September Month-End Close: Central offices have officially closed for the month of September. This includes the transmission and reconciliation of all September transactions, and state approval to close the month.
NEW! October 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.) Wednesday, October 31. 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.
