NewFundRequestSystem
The New Fund Request System allows departments to submit requests for new fund codes
to be set up, reviewed and approved in an online format. After review and approval the
system will update Banner with the new funding information. Departmental approval,
functional review and final approvals are managed through the Approval Tracking System in
a manner similar to the Employee Onetime Payment System approvals.
The New Fund System can be accessed from the WebRaider portal, F & A Work Tools tab,
Finance Channel under Accounting Services.
The New Fund System allows a departmental user to do the following:

Start a New Fund Request

Review the Status of a New Fund Request

Resume completion of a New Fund Request

Review the History of a Request
