Change Funds
A Change Fund can only be created for the sole purpose of providing change at a college event or location where customers are paying in cash with more than the exact amount. This fund is never to be used to pay expenses for an event. It is simply a fund to make change and should always remain the same amount as originally established.
As of October 1, 2021, we are working forward to reduce cash used on campus. Please contact us to discuss your request for a Change Fund.
Change of Custodian
No transfers of these funds from one employee to another are allowed. Please contact the Cashier's Office for this request.
Closing a Change Fund
The current custodian must close the fund by filling out the Request Change Fund form and checking the Close Fund box. Once complete, submit the form along with the cash to the Cashier's Office. The full amount of the fund must be returned.
Deposits
The Cashier’s Office handles departmental deposits. All deposits should be accompanied by a completed miscellaneous receipt. The miscellaneous receipt must have a complete chart string (natural class must be included), the amount of the deposit, and a line description. Please contact your Finance Center with questions regarding the chart string. If you have more than three checks, please run an adding machine tape to verify the deposit amount and staple to your miscellaneous receipt. No checks should be stapled to the receipt.Please review all checks received for accuracy (i.e. correct date, signature) prior to making your deposit. Please refer to the cash and check handling policy .
