Year-end schedule
The University is prohibited from having a cash deficit at the end of the year. Therefore, the year‐end expenditure process is managed to ensure that all cash balances remain positive. To accomplish this and provide departments the opportunity to manage their budgets more effectively the following schedule is established.
Note: Dates are subject to change to accommodate deadlines established by Virginia Department of Accounts.
