New Business Operation Forms

  • Deposit Form: The University requires checks/cash must be deposited within 24 hours of receipt. Funds belonging to the University should be deposited promptly using the below form. This will create a Jira ticket for easy tracking. When you have a check/cash you must complete this form prior to bringing the check to Business Operations. Once you bring the check/cash to Business Operations, we will print a copy of the Jira ticket along with a signature from Business Operations staff as a receipt. You will also receive an email once the ticket has been closed.
