Cost Transfers

Cost transfers must be prepared and submitted within 90 days from the end of the calendar month in which the transaction appears as a cost in the University’s financial system; except in cases where the sponsor’s terms and conditions are stricter than the University’s policy.

Cost transfers greater than 90 days from the end of the calendar month in which the transaction appears as a cost in the University’s financial system generally will not be processed except for those which are to remove inappropriate charges from sponsored projects.  Those charges cannot be transferred to another sponsored project account and must be charged to departmental (i.e., non-sponsored project) funding sources.  

Please review the detailed policy on Cost Transfer on Sponsored Projects Policy.
