Our CPE Program Manager Lisa Vallad recently completed her review and analysis of the OUC’s Continuing Professional Education (CPE) courses during the 2nd quarter of FY 2014. During three days in November-December, we offered 11 courses at the 1800 Grant Street location. Typically, we have about 50 individual attendees on each day of CPE.

We had a terrific response to our Dec 5 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) course schedule. Most of the courses offered that day filled to capacity. After a few cancellations due to weather, we were able to accommodate additional individuals on the wait lists. We'll provide a recap of participant evaluations shortly. In the meantime, feel free to review next quarter's CPE. Our Feb 18 courses are all new and are described on the CPE website at www.cu.edu/controller/cpe/?page_id=1504.
At the Nov 18 Controllers' meeting, the following topics are on the agenda for discussion: Campus updates; Alcohol policy and procedures; Advancement; Fund 98 feed to COFRS; CORE Update; Auxiliary Codes in Cognos Reports; Fiscal Certification. Questions on discussion points from this and any other Controllers’ meeting should be directed to the appropriate campus controller.

Registration is open for most of the courses scheduled for Thursday, December 5:
