* Due to the high volume of transactions that we receive during fiscal close, we ask that all expenses are submitted as soon as possible. Invoices and reimbursements not received by the specified due date may not be processed for Fiscal Year 2017-18.

** On Monday, July 7th after 5p.m., all transactions processed through Express for Fiscal Year 2017-18 will have been posted to the general ledger. Therefore, you will need to review your ledgers to be sure that all expenses relating to 2017-18 have been properly recorded. If any invoices are not recorded on the ledger and you would like to accrue charges, you may submit an accrual journal to General Accounting by the appropriate deadline in order for that expense to show up on the preliminary general ledger.
