Cash Handling and Petty Cash

 

Change orders and petty cash fund checks

The Office of the Bursar has significantly reduced the amount of cash it keeps on hand. As a result, departments requesting to cash petty cash checks greater than $100 and change orders in excess of $100 must allow two business days for transport to the bank and cash exchange. 

Transactions for smaller amounts will continue to be completed on a walk-in basis as long as funds are available.

Contact ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ-Bursar@alaska.edu to schedule change orders or petty cash transactions.
