Certificate in University Financial Management

The Office of Finance has designed a multi-section training program that focuses on the business practices needed by budget units. It is a series of classes designed to familiarize the campus community with the different aspects of the Office of Finance. The intent of these classes is to ensure that employees have as much understanding of our complex system as possible. There are seven (7) required sessions with a review session offered to help employees prepare for the exam.

Please note that you must attend all sessions before you may take the Capstone review and sit for the exam.

Employees may begin participating in the program any time during the year. All classes, including the review session and exam, are offered twice yearly . Participants who complete all required courses and pass the exam are awarded a Certificate in University Financial Management.

Please call Kathie Parker, Communications and Training Coordinator in the Office of Finance at 683-3267 for more information.
