We undertake the management of financial resources, provide guidance for sound fiscal practices, and act as a central collection point for University receipts. Our mission is to maintain a positive reputation through our excellence in service to the campus community, which we strive for through our customer-centric approach: We foster an inclusive environment where we meet all viewpoints with attentiveness and respect. We manage the University’s financial resources safely, ethically, and with a high level of transparency.  We encourage staff members to grow their knowledge and abilities while they meet challenges head on. We work to make paying your student account as easy as possible so you can focus on your education.
