Refunds of Revenue Collected from Students Outside the Term Bill Systems
April 10, 2020
Please share this information with others in your area as appropriate.
Dear Colleagues,
If your unit collected revenue from students using a system other than the term bill systems, such as continuing education programs, and you must cancel a course or event as a result of COVID-19 and refund all or a portion of that revenue, then you will need to initiate the Non-PO Upload request process through RU Marketplace. Please use the new Activity value (9105, COVID-19) and the appropriate natural accounts for these requests.

This guidance is not budget authorization for these transactions. Those transactions must go through processes as defined by responsibility centers and by Chancellor or central administration units.
