Comply with Cash Handling Unit Head Responsibilities
Before You Begin
All money received on behalf of the University from any source must be deposited with University Student Financial Services and Cashier Operations (USFSCO). Cash handling units are subject to an audit by the Office of University Audits and/or a review by USFSCO at any time.
Unit heads are responsible for all cash handling activities engaged in by their units.
