Cash Handling and Petty Cash
Change orders and petty cash fund checks
The Office of the Bursar has significantly reduced the amount of cash it keeps on hand. As a result, departments requesting to cash petty cash checks greater than $100 and change orders in excess of $100 must allow two business days for transport to the bank and cash exchange.
Transactions for smaller amounts will continue to be completed on a walk-in basis as long as funds are available.
Contact ÌÀÄ·ÊÓƵ-Bursar@alaska.edu to schedule change orders or petty cash transactions.
