Banking

Opening bank accounts using the University's tax exemption or using its Federal Tax Identification Number (TIN) is restricted to those individuals expressly authorized by the University's Board of Trustees. No other individual, associated or affiliated organization is permitted to use the University's tax-exempt status or TIN for any banking purpose.

Unauthorized use of the University's tax-exempt status in connection with bank accounts, brokerage accounts and other processes will result in the treasurer's office taking the appropriate steps to close such accounts.

Departmental Change Funds

Departmental change funds are established for departments that require cash to make change during normal business operations. Change funds may be established for temporary or permanent use, depending on the nature and frequency of business activities. The Office of Treasury and Investments must authorize departmental change fund requests to increase or decrease a fund.
