Fayetteville Policies and Procedures: Policies Update
The following campus policies have recently been updated:
- FPP 305.3 Carry Forward at Year End
- FPP 503.1 Financial Aid Disbursement and Refunding
- FPP 329.0 Salary Overpayments
The first, Carry Forward at Year End 305.3, updates language to reflect changes in definitions due to Workday implementation, clarifies restrictions based on funds type and addresses authority to set or approve certain carry-forward limits by the vice chancellor for Finance and Administration.
The second, Financial Aid Disbursement and Refunding 503.1, adds definitions and clarifies the process for disbursement of financial aid and refunding of excess federal financial aid.
The third, Salary Overpayments 329.0, updates language to reflect semi-monthly pay and the Workday transition, strengthens language around employee and supervisor/department responsibility to prevent and promptly address salary overpayments and references certain reporting obligations.
These are part of an ongoing effort to update Fayetteville Policies and Procedures to reflect current operational status and best practices.
