Financial Services - Roll
out of new process - September 12, 2016
We’ve previously shared a
new approach to providing financial services to all units (outside of the HSC)
at some faculty meetings, through the Bulletin and by email. We have
also shared the new system on our SAS website at this link.
Our pilot was successful, allowing us to make necessary adjustments and we are all excited to roll out the new process to obtain service from financial services on September 12, 2016. Additional information will be shared and we will have some drop-in sessions to provide any clarification people need. We were able to verify with our pilot that the system is very straightforward and will require minimal training, if any. As with the pilot project, we continue to be committed to taking constructive feedback about the process and making changes as appropriate.
New webpage for
administrative forms:
Please see our newly
revamped webpage containing all of the current forms in use at OVC. Many
“in-house” forms have been updated recently to utilize a common theme as well
as improving usability and efficiency. The Distribution of Effort
Amendment and Study/Research Leave Application forms are examples of this.
If there are forms missing please email ovcsas@uoguelph.ca with
the relevant information and we will post or link to the most current version.
