Campus Support:

In an effort to be able to provide response times to our customers we’ve developed a support methodology.

  • Your planning unit representatives should be your first contact. If you have questions regarding new account numbers, please talk to your Planning Unit CFAO or FSE Change Network representative(s).
  • If you have questions about systems or tools, contact Finance Customer Care. Finance Customer Care (FCC) will not be able to answer unit-specific accounting questions.
  • If the initial FCC contact is not able to resolve your call, it will be forwarded to other representatives in the Finance area who can assist you in resolving your question or issue.
  • Additional self-help tools are available to support you through this transition. Please refer to the COA Website for up-to-date Quick Reference Guides and training resources.
  • Several Drop-in sessions have been scheduled to ensure campus is supported through this change. Below are the dates of the sessions. Please bring your questions to work directly with Subject Matter Experts.
    • Wednesday, December 13 from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM in WUSOC 302
    • Friday, December 15 from 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM in WUSOC 302
    • Monday, December 18 from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM in HRTC 141-145
    • Wednesday, December 20 from 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM in HRTC 141-145

Information sessions will be scheduled to address common questions across the campus community. For training held in the fall, we will schedule ongoing sessions for new employees and individuals that may wish to repeat the courses.

Updates will be sent to campus, as necessary, addressing commonly asked questions and tips to assist users in working through the transition.
