Cost Transfers

The need for timely and well-documented cost transfers is paramount. When cost transfers are necessary, they must be made within 90 days of the original posting of the cost and must be documented with detailed explanation of the reason and need for the transfer under current University policy. This policy is applicable to all cost transfers, including any transfers initiated through the use of the Salary Distribution Adjustments (SDA) form.
