Cost Transfer Reminders: Explanations, Timelines, and Required Documentation
Research Financial Services (RFS) reminds departments to include complete explanations and supporting documentation when submitting Journal Entries (JEs) and Payroll Expense Transfers (PETs). Missing details, insufficient justifications, and incomplete attachments are common reasons cost transfers are returned for correction.
FY27 Campus Wide Space Survey
CU Âé¶¹Ó°Ôº will conduct a campus-wide space survey in FY27 to gather updated space utilization data that supports departmental planning and prepares the university for its next Facilities & Administrative (F&A) cost proposal. The Office of Space Optimization will begin confirming unit contacts this fall, with the survey opening in February 2027 through the AssetWorks Ready platform. Training materials, instructions, and support resources will be provided before the survey launches.
