Our department manages the applications that enable the campus to perform key financial
operations, including Stratus Financials, R*STARS, Student Financials and the Payroll
interface. We review and process campus journals, image financial documents and handle
the transmission of financial data to Annapolis. We also provide support for Stratus
Financials, and provide testing and assistance to employees implementing system upgrades
and maintenance.
The Stratus Financials System provides online, up-to-the-minute access to critical
financial and budgetary information. You can review the Chart of Accounts page for information on cost center or grant numbers, aliases, and Stratus account numbers.
You can also visit the Reporting & Training Documents page for more information on Stratus functions, reporting, and the Stratus Journal
Upload process.
