Did you, your department, or program go through changes with the university reorganization? Even if you didn’t, you probably work with others whose coding has changed. Please check out the new Department and Program Listing for Fiscal Year 2017-18 to find out where departments and programs are now!

All of the changes are effective as of July 1, 2017, so save yourself from getting returned forms from Finance with incorrect coding.

Effective August 2017, the work week for staff and administrators will change; the first day affected by this change will be Aug. 4, 2017. The new work week will start on Saturday at 12:01 a.m. and will end the following Friday at 12 a.m. (midnight Friday night instead of Friday at 5:01 p.m.).

If you have any questions, contact Katie Sol at ksol@georgefox.edu.
