Onboarding
- The faculty member officially starts work.
- The college replies to the working group with the employee number and email address.
- The faculty member submits the Accounting Office budget inquiry system access form.
- After the Accounting Office creates the record, it issues the project account and the funding becomes available.
Expenses

- The funding must be used within two years.
