Cash Handling Certificate Track – Online and Self-Paced
University Bursar offers a three-course Cash Handling Certificate Track through the Business & Finance Training Program. Designed for employees who handle cash and checks, the track covers cash handling policies, compliance requirements, and recommended practices. Topics include cash handling fundamentals, managing change funds, and advanced cash handling. The program is open to all employees. Participants who successfully complete all three courses will earn a Cash Handling Certificate.
The courses are offered online in a self-paced format and may be completed one course at a time. To earn the Cash Handling Certificate, participants must complete all three courses within six months. To learn more, please visit the Business & Finance Training Program website.
Student Account Payment Request Workflow (also discussed in November 2025)
The Student Account Payment Request (SAPR) form is used for departments to apply a payment on a student's account, as well as for an employee's account for graduate-level tuition and fees. A webinar demonstrating the workflow of a Student Account Payment Request using the SAPR form is available at the button below. The video explains how the originator (the person submitting the form) can track the SAPR's status, from submission to final payment.
