The Academic Affairs Financial Support Services (AAFSS) team serves as a dedicated resource for financial operations within Academic Affairs, providing reliable and efficient support to faculty and staff. This initiative was established by the Provost’s Office to enhance financial support and consistency across schools and divisions within Academic Affairs.
Services include assistance with salary cost transfers (SCTs), fund changes, budget requests, inter-location transfer of funds (ITFs), and cost transfers.
Our goal is to simplify processes and ensure consistency by outlining required forms and providing clear instructions for each request type. Please contact us for more information or to submit requests at aafss@ucmerced.edu.
