CARAT End of Fiscal Year Deadlines

The end of the fiscal year is fast approaching! This means that the University has shorter processing periods in the month of June for all types of financial transactions so that they can close out their books for the year. Transactions requested after the University deadlines will be processed by the Central Offices after July 1st, 2025.

If you have transactions that need to post to an award before June 30th, in order for CARAT to process your requests in time, please be aware of the following deadlines. 

These dates are especially critical for Principal Investigators whose grants are closing!

Types of Transactions / COB Deadline to notify CARAT of transaction

Payroll Requests                                            Friday, May 23, 2025 (check date 6/20/25)
