New Common Chart of Accounts [CCoA]

The University of California is implementing a new chart of accounts across all locations. This affects all downstream systems that rely on financial data. Short-term and long-term retrofit work is ongoing for the Financial Aid [FAI] and Contracts and Grants [SPX] content areas.

NOTICE: Campus Input File Re-Submissions

The data being provided to UCOP for systemwide reporting from UC campuses must be validated for accuracy from both a content and format perspective prior to transmission to the systemwide office for processing. UCOP will be able to reload a file only if a subsequent file has not been applied to the data warehouse. If a subsequent file has been loaded into the warehouse, retracting the erroneous information will not be performed. For all questions regarding UC campus input file specifications, send an email to any of these email addresses:
