The University’s Corporate Travel Card (CTA) has been compromised and has been closed effective immediately. As a result, the CTA card will be temporarily unavailable for airline reservations until early next week while we await the replacement card.

If you received goods or services in FY25 but did not send the invoice to accounts payable by the July deadline, an accounts payable accrual Journal Entry (JE) may be necessary to accurately reflect the expense in FY25. Finance will review invoices exceeding $25,000 to determine if a payable journal is necessary.
