As of Sept 26, individuals with any SpeedType fiscal role except Officerare eligible to be approvers in CU Marketplace.
What's changed: The Marketplace now recognizes Fiscal Principals and Fiscal Managers in addition to Fiscal Staff approvers.
What hasn't changed: Individuals who want approval capability in the Marketplace still need to request that authorization via the Financial Systems Access Request form ... in addition to making sure they have an appropriate SpeedType fiscal role.
Please plan to join us when we visit your campus, Oct 7-11, for our annual OUC Town Halls.
The Town Hall sessions are short, but full of information … on Continuing Professional Education opportunities, Cognos Reporting System developments, new FinPro Help Desk tools, and more. This is your chance to hear about what we’ve done lately – and to provide feedback on future directions. We promise a thoughtful exchange of ideas – and a few surprises!
