CAMPUS WIDE  August 31 is the last day of our 2019-2020 financial year. Numerous processes and work flows need to be coordinated in order to close successfully.  Your area will be impacted if you have personnel changes, payroll, purchasing, pro card, invoice payments, budget transfers, account reconciliations, deposits, journal entries, book store or Sodexo charges.  Financial reporting department will post a consolidated calendar on it’s web page. https://www.uttyler.edu/accounting-and-financial-reporting/  Currently there is a DRAFT calendar posted. Once all dates are firm we will update it and indicate that it is the FINAL version.  Payroll cycle will continue to operate on it’s current calendar. Just a few dates related to August payroll have been included in the consolidated calendar so the campus is aware of multiple tasks which occur during the same time frame.  A brief description of the procurement deadlines have been incorporated into the year end calendar. More complete explanations of the deadlines are posted on the financial services website.
