Balancing (Closing) Procedure
Each cashier will calculate a total for cash, checks and credit card receipts in their drawer
at the end of each business day. Do an adding machine receipt for each of the following
transaction types: cash, checks, and credit cards. The total of each receipt should equal the
total as reported by TouchNet Cashiering for the business day.
Once this is done and your totals match, place the contents of your deposit in to a deposit
bag. The deposit bag is to be locked in the number seven drawer in the safe. (This is the
drawer the accountants have access to for deposits)
Put all cashier window lights in the off position, close cashier sliding windows, take any last
minute departmental deposits, and lock them in the vault. Turn off vault room light and
make sure both safe and vault are securely closed and locked.

Book Vouchers Procedure
Students are not required to buy their books through the University bookstore; however, at
this time, we can only handle emergency book credits through the University bookstore.
Books and supplies purchased through the online bookstore at
http://www.amcbookstore.com/home.aspx can be paid through emergency book credits
and shipped UPS directly to you.
Emergency book credits are available only to students who have pending financial aid
awarded through Texas A&M University-Commerce. To be eligible - your financial aid
award must show as accepted on our system and the total award amount must be enough
to cover all outstanding University charges including this amount of this book credit.
Contact the Bursar's Office as shown below to determine availability dates.
To utilize this option, print out the emergency book credit application. Students are to fill
out the emergency book credit application, sign it, and return the completed form to the
University Bursar's Office. Students may request bookstore credit for any amount up to
$500 - approved book credit amount cannot exceed the difference between anticipated
financial aid and the aggregate of charges due to Texas A&M UniversityCommerce. Students should fax the form to 903-468-6048 or mail it to:
Texas A&M University-Commerce
Attn: Bursar's Office.
P.O. Box 3011
Commerce, TX 75429
We will verify eligibility upon receipt. When they select the emergency book credit
payment option, the University bookstore will fax us a copy of your order. The University
Bursar's Office will then fax a response to the bookstore that lets them know if you have an
approved book credit on file and if so, how much in credit we will authorize. It is our
understanding that approved orders will be shipped the same day. The student must pay
shipping costs - these will be included in the amount of your book credit.
When the financial aid is processed, all University charges, including the amount of
emergency book credits, will be deducted from the financial aid award prior to any refund.
Please note: emergency book credits represent a loan that you must pay back by the date
shown in the form. If the financial is canceled or modified for any reason, so that the
emergency book credit is not paid as expected, the student must pay the amount due in full
by the indicated payment date.
The University Bursar's Office is not responsible for shipping difficulties, problems with the
students online book order, or any other issue that may result from your online purchase.
P a g e | 13
Please note: The bookstore has indicated that it will NOT provide cash refunds for books
purchased with online book credits. Upon notification from the bookstore regarding credits
issued for returns, the Bursar's Office will reduce the amount of the book credit charge on
the students account.

Collections Process
Process Summary:
The Collections Letters Process automatically generates a collections calendar with
due dates which are based on the ending dates of the semester. The process runs every
day, and if the current date is one of the dates for generating either a report or a letter, a
file is produced.
Reports of students subject to collections are automatically generated one week
prior to the actual collection date for staff review. When the report is run, the students are
saved in Banner on screen GLIEXTR/GLAEXTR. Staff has one week to review.
The collection dates are approximately 30, 90, and 120 days past the end of the
semester. On the collection dates (one week after the initial report was generated), a
comma separated value list of students is automatically generated and saved on a network
shared drive. This data is used to generate letters via mailmerge for mailing to students.
Each time a list is generated, balances are recomputed so that if a student has paid they will
be excluded.
The last collection date (approximately 120 days past the end of the semester) is
when students are turned over to a collections agency. It is also when state warrant holds
are placed in FAMIS. An SQL script is run that generates a batch upload file which posts
students from Banner into FAMIS.
Process:

Location of Lists, GLIEXTR:
Process:
The process automatically generates a collections calendar with due dates. Reports
of students subject to collections are generated one week prior to the collection date.
Collection dates are approximately 30, 90, and 120 days past the end of the semester.
Once a report is generated, the list of students will be in Banner on screen
GLIEXTR/GLAEXTR. The values for viewing the population select are:
Application FINANCIAL_SERVICES
Selection ID COLL-REPORTx-yyyyss-dd-mon-yy
Creator ID
MARTINBRIDGETTE
User ID
MARTINBRIDGETTE
In the above, x = 1 means collections report #1
x = 2 means collections report #2
x = 3 means collections report #3
Reports 1, 2, and 3 generate lists on GLIEXTR/GLAEXTR.
Letters run one week after the reports, and are read from the lists on GLIEXTR/GLAEXTR.
The only difference is that at this point, balances are recomputed so that if a student has
paid they will be excluded.
Here is an overview of the process:
Report #1
 Computes balances from TBRACCD, TBBDETC
 Saves list #1 to GLBEXTR
Letter #1
 Reads student id’s from report #1 on GLBEXTR, compute balances
 Save list of students on GURMAIL (Letter code = COLL-LETTER-1)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Report #2
 Computes balances from TBRACCD, TBBDETC
 Saves list #2 to GLBEXTR
P a g e | 16
Letter #2
 Reads student id’s from report #2 on GLBEXTR, compute balances
 Save list of students on GURMAIL (Letter code = COLL-LETTER-2)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Report #3
 Computes balances from TBRACCD, TBBDETC
 Saves list #3 to GLBEXTR
Letter #3
 Reads student id’s from report #3 on GLBEXTR, compute balances
 Save list of students on GURMAIL (Letter code = COLL-LETTER-3)
 Place ‘C’ (collection) holds on SPRHOLD
 Generate FAMIS feed to update vendors
Report files are saved on the database server in /u05/convert, then a CRON jobs moves the
files to

FAMIS Timeout Issues Resolve Procedure
Purpose: This document was created to address the issue of customers 3270 FAMIS
sessions locking up after a set amount of inactivity to the mainframe.
Problem: SSL Sessions are set to timeout after 30 minutes of inactivity on the PAN firewall.
The PAN firewall needs to see 16 tcp packets to reset the TTL of the session. The FAMIS
application, when not in use, does not meet the 16 tcp packets in 30 minutes causing the
firewall to drop the session but the client still thinks the session is active. This will appear
like the FAMIS session is locked up. Customers are able to close and reopen the FAMIS
session to keep working.
Resolution: Start the FAMIS session. On the top menu click Session, then click Disconnect.
Click ok.
Now click on Session again, and then choose Session Setup
From the options below select Telnet Keep Alive
Click ok.

Financial Responsibility Agreement Procedure
NEW FOR FALL 2014 REGISTRATION:
A Financial Responsibility Agreement will appear when you login to register for classes. It
is required that you read and agree to its conditions before being allowed to proceed with
registration. This agreement notifies you of all the payment options that are available. The
University will also be authorized to enroll you in an installment payment plan. This will
prevent you from being dropped from your classes and avoid the $200.00 reinstatement
fee.

DAILY CARD FILE PROCESS:
P a g e | 23
At 6am, M-F, a CRON job (owned by Oracle) starts the daily card file process:
sh /u05/ctool_utl/liveupdate-higherone/go.shl >/u05/ctool_utl/liveupdatehigherone/go.log
The daily card file is built from a list of students enrolled in a current or future term
who have not yet been mailed a card. Each id that is included in the card file is also
recorded in a table to track which cards have been ordered. If an id is in this file, it will not
be mailed another card UNLESS the students’ address is updated with an address source
code of H1 – HigherOne Card Resend.
The card resend process is as follows:
Each day, id’s are removed from the Saturn.tamuc_higherone_pidms table if
the id was marked on SPAIDEN (address tab) with an address source code of H1. Then all
address source codes of H1 are changed to null. The normal card file process will then pick
up these id’s and include them in the card file (as long as the student is enrolled in a current
or future term.)

HigherOne Refund Stops Process
Refund stops are monitored by the Business Services Supervisor. To aid in the processing
of stops, and to make the process less manual, there is a Visual Basic utility program that
aids in producing the file that goes to HigherOne for refunds.
The first part of the process creates the refunds file and places it in a network share. (See
Jons How To for HigherOne Process.docx for documentation on producing the refunds file)
Once the file is in the network share, it is ready for review. The Business Services
Supervisor will execute the program named “JonsHigherOneProgram”. If necessary, the
program may be installed from:
\\ctis\dfsroot\FinancialServices\BannerFAMISFeed\BannerJobs\HigherOne\JonsHigherO
neProgram_Setup\setup.exe
The program automatically reads the refund files from this network share:
\\ctis\dfsroot\FinancialServices\BannerFAMISFeed\BannerJobs\HigherOne\H1_Refunds_
file\commerceYYMMDDHHMM.ref
•
Click on the filename in the lower left-hand box to select the file, then click the
“Process File” button.
•
The file is then read, and the upper left-hand box will show the refund transactions.
P a g e | 25
•
The stops are reviewed, and when a student needs to have their refund stopped,
check the box next to the appropriate refund.
•
After all of the stops are marked with check marks, click the “Process Stops” button.
•
The “Process Stops” button calculates new totals for the HigherOne batch.
•
Once the correct number of stops and the correct amount is shown in the right-hand
window, we are ready to finalize.
•
Click on “Build H1 File”.
The new file for HigherOne is automatically built and placed in this share:
\\ctis\dfsroot\FinancialServices\BannerFAMISFeed\BannerJobs\HigherOne\H1_Refunds_
file\outbound
There is an automated process (currently running on Jon’s computer at 11:50am M-F) that
moves the refund file from the \outbound folder to the sftp folder from where it will be
sent to HigherOne. The sftp folder for HigherOne is located at:
\\ctis\dfsroot\xfer\sftp\HigherOne

Institutional Loan Procedure
The Texas A&M University-Commerce Institutional Loan program offers two types of short
term loans—tuition loans and Leo personal loans.
Tuition loans pay the full amount of tuition/fees only and cannot be used to pay housing or
other university charges (including UPD traffic tickets). Students do not receive a check
with this loan-a credit is made to offset tuition/fee charges. Tuition loans can cover course
fees as well, but not late registration fees. Applications for Tuition Loans must be submitted
by the 20th class day for Fall/Spring terms and the 15th class day for Summer terms.
Leo personal loan proceeds are intended to pay educational expenses (books, supplies, etc).
Loan limits will vary between terms. Support documentation may be required with your
application. If you have set yourself up for direct deposit refunds then your Leo personal
loan will be disbursed to you that way. Otherwise your Leo personal loan will be disbursed
by check and will be available within 2-3 working days.
Leo personal loans cannot be disbursed before the first class day of the semester.
Eligibility for short-term loans:
1. Must be enrolled in the given term.
2. Must be in good standing with the university.
3. Limited to one emergency loan or one bookcredit per semester.
Tuition loans cannot be used for courses offered through Colloquy Global E-Learning
(MS-GBEC) or for Academic Partnerships programs including Executive MBA, MSApplied Criminology, BS-Business Administration, Masters of Education or Doctor of
Education. Please contact our office [email protected] if you have any
questions about your eligibility for a tuition loan.
Submission of an application does not guarantee approval. Loan funds are limited and we
may not be able to accommodate all applicants even if eligibility requirements are met.
Students are limited to one emergency loan or one bookcredit per semester. Exceptions to
eligibility guidelines or loan procedures will be made strictly at the discretion of the
university. The University reserves the right to deny loan approval to any student based on
past payment performance or other factors that negatively impact credit risk.
Contact Student Accounts at 903-886-5050 for more information or refer to information on
the main Student Accounts Web page for current updates.
Tuition loans are accessed online through MyLeo. Log in to MyLeo and click on LeoPay. Go
to the Payment Plans tab. You will see the option to select the Tuition Loan or the
Installment Plan. The tuition loan option does not require a down payment but you will
P a g e | 29
have to pay a $35 processing charge at sign-up. There are no interest charges associated
with the tuition loan option.
Leo Personal Loans are offered to students each semester to help cover books, supplies or
other related expenses. Loans are capped at $400 per term ($200 in mini-terms and
summer semesters)
Leo Personal Loans do not accrue interest but a $35 processing fee is required. The
processing fee must be paid before the loan application can be processed.
Completed application forms can be faxed to 903-468-6048 or scanned copies can be sent
by email to [email protected].
You can also deliver applications in person to our payment windows in either the
McDowell Administration Building or the One Stop Shop.
NOTE: Students may not borrow against future financial aid distributions and Leo
personal loans cannot be used to to pay UPD tickets or other university charges.
A $25 late charge and a registration/transcript hold will be assessed on all past due loan
accounts.

Lion Cards Procedure
Putting money on a student/faculty/staff Lion Card requires that you use the Blackboard
application program. Ask to see the students’ Lion Card so that you can verify the money is
going into the correct account. Enter the required information into Blackboard. You are
able to accept, cash, credit or check as a form of currency being applied to the card. You
must keep your Blackboard transactions separate from your daily drawer transactions. At
the end of the day you will receive an email with your daily total Blackboard transactions,
this email should accurately portray what you have received in cash, credit cards and
checks. Fill out a Lion Cash Department Deposit Worksheet and attach it with the
Blackboard email you receive along with the currency you took in. Put this form at the end
of each closing day in the Department Deposit Basket.

Refund Procedure
Student Account Refunds
Student account refunds are commonly generated by application of financial aid, reduction
of charges due to dropped classes or a withdrawal from enrollment, or a change in housing
or meal plan contracts. Student accounts with credit balances are refunded automatically.
No action is needed by the student to initiate a refund from a credit balance on their
account.
Students can receive refunds by mail, direct deposit, or a Higher One debit account (an
exception for credit card payments is discussed below).
All refunds require several working days to process. When a refund entry appears on the
students account, they should add at least three to five working days to the date shown.
A number of circumstances can delay refunds. If the student has a past due loan or other
charge from a prior semester, the refund will be delayed at least a day. There are occasional
unexpected system problems that can cause refunds to be delayed as well.
Please Note: Students who make expenditures based on a pending refund do so at their
own risk.
Refunds may be delayed and the students are advised to wait until the refund check is
delivered to them or their direct deposit is available in their individual bank account. The
university is not responsible for any charges that may be incurred due to delays in the
refund processing.
If a payment has been made using a credit card, we will issue refunds back to the credit
card used for payment first before issuing any cash refund. The university cannot issue
cash refunds for credit card payments. This procedure will apply to all refunds including
those generated by financial aid or scholarships.
Refund inquiries should be directed to [email protected].
Appeal for Removal or Reversal of Charges
Students must contact the office responsible for account charges if they have questions
regarding the validity of the charge.
The Student Account Office is responsible for calculating and assessing tuition and fee
charges associated with enrollment. Students with questions as to how their tuition/fee
charges were assessed may contact [email protected]. The Student Accounts
Office will provide an itemization of charges upon written request to
[email protected].
P a g e | 34
The Registrar's Office administers course drops and withdrawals and is responsible for
calculating the percentage of charges refunded. Students will need to contact the
Registrar's Office if they wish to appeal charges remaining after they drop a class or
withdraw from enrollment. Contact the Registrar’s Office if there are any questions about
the drop or withdrawal procedure and how the refund percentage for tuition/fees is
calculated.
The Office of Residential Living and Learning administers housing and meal plan contracts.
As such, they are responsible for calculating student account charges associated with those
contracts. Students must contact the Office of Residential Living and Learning if they have
questions about their housing or meal plan charges. Any adjustment to housing or meal
plan charges must be done by the Office of Residential Living and Learning.
Deduction of University Charges Prior to Refund Processing
The University may exercise the right of offset, meaning that a refund could be subject to
adjustment if necessary to ensure any past due University obligations are satisfied.
University charges are deducted as allowed by statute or regulation before a refund is
issued. These may include (but are not limited to) current term and prior term charges
such as:

Tuition & Fees

Book Credits

Emergency Loans

Tuition Loans

Housing

Meal Plans

Late Fees

Installment Fees

Departmental Charges

Ticket Trac (Citation/Permit) Procedure
Citations are given by the University Police Department when someone is in violation of the
parking regulations and guidelines of the University. When someone is issued a citation
they bring it to the cashiers. You enter the citation number in TickeTrac, when it pulls up it
will tell you what it was given for and how much it is. Accept cash, credit or check as a form
of payment. If a person has received more than five tickets without payment their car will
then be booted and a “boot agreement” will be setup for them. This is where they pay half
of the amount of citations upfront to have the boot released and then are setup on a
payment plan for the remainder of the amount due. If someone does not agree with the
citation they have the right to appeal it. They must pay the citation upfront and if the
appeal is granted we will refund their money.
A Parking Permit is required by everyone on campus property. The permits range from a
free visitor pass to a permanent $40 good from Sept.1st-Aug.31st. Permits are available
online and in person. A person requesting a permit in person must fill out an information
card. This card allows us to enter their personal information along with their vehicle
information into TickeTrac. Each person is assigned their own permit number. Ask the
person requesting the permit enough information to be able to differentiate which type of
permit is needed for them. You must keep your TickeTrac transactions separate from your
daily drawer transactions. At the end of the day print your transactions from the report
screen in TickeTrac. This report should accurately portray what you have received in cash,
credit cards and checks. Fill out a TickeTrac Department Deposit Worksheet and attach it
with the report you printed along with the currency you took in. Put this form at the end of
each closing day in the Department Deposit Basket.

purpose for the fund,
account(s) to be used to replenish the fund,
amount being requested with justification, and
name of primary custodian.
Upon approval, the Comptroller’s Office will prepare a voucher to generate the beginning

replenishment is needed, a reconciliation should be completed monthly.
3. The department head, or his or her designee, should perform a departmental petty
st
cash count as of August 31 and submit the annual Departmental Petty Cash Count
th
form to the Comptroller’s Office by the 5 working day of each new fiscal year.
4. If the primary custodian changes, prepare an Authorization for Petty Cash Fund
form, have the new custodian verify the funds, and have the new custodian sign as
the primary custodian. To complete the transfer of accountability, a memo
documenting the transfer of custodianship, along with a copy of the completed
Authorization for Petty Cash Fund Form, should be submitted to the Comptroller’s
Office.
5. The petty cash may be audited at anytime, at the direction of the Comptroller’s
Office.
