Bursar Systems

The Bursar Systems area coordinates with outside units for all data that is to be processed to the CornellCard and Student Finance Systems.

 Credit Posting Deadlines:

For the fall semester:

Tuition and health insurance credits should be applied to the student account by the close of business on the second Friday of July.  Credits that miss this deadline will not appear on the July tuition bill, causing student confusion.

Tuition and health insurance credits must be applied to the student account by the close of business on the second Friday of August.  Credits that miss this deadline will prevent the student from registering for the semester and cause the student to incur a finance charge.

For the spring semester:

Tuition and health insurance credits should be applied to the student account by the close of business on the second Friday of December.  Credits that miss this deadline will not appear on the December tuition bill, causing student confusion.

Tuition and health insurance credits must be applied to the student account by the close of business on the second Friday of January.  Credits that miss this deadline will prevent the student from registering for the semester and cause the student to incur a finance charge.

 User Manuals:

The Student Finance System and Endowed GRA Processing manuals are obsolete and have been removed.  Updated documentation for PeopleSoft processing will be posted here as it becomes available.

•  EIS (Executive Information System) 
• EIS was created to allow ADW users to receive and manipulate electronically Accounting Summary reports generated from the Student Finance System. If you are an authorized Accounting Data Warehouse (ADW) user, this manual will help you learn how to extract information from the Bursar datamart.
• Student Services Center introduction 
• The Student Services Center replaces many of the inquiry screens from the mainframe Bursar system, and also serves as the replacement for the student Just The Facts application.  This is a brief Flash tutorial on the use of the Student Financials portions of the Student Services Center.
