We are pleased to announce that UCSB has officially transitioned to a new campus financial system and Common Chart of Accounts as of July 1. This is a monumental achievement that will significantly transform our financial operations, providing us with more robust data, improved efficiency, and enhanced reporting capabilities across the entire campus. 

Over the next several weeks, we will bring additional components of the new system online: 

  • A new campus financial reporting portal, FinHub
  • A new Oracle tool used for budgeting and financial planning processes
  • Re-launch of several existing systems, including Gateway and Concur, with updates to accommodate the new financial system and processes

This multi-year undertaking was incredibly complex, involving more than a hundred dedicated individuals from 39 departments across campus. We want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who contributed. The Financial Management Modernization program is a testament to what we can achieve when we work together. 

To our campus community, we ask for your patience as we stabilize the new system and the many parts of campus that it impacts. As with any new technology, we expect that there will be initial challenges, but rest assured that we have a team in place to support users as we navigate this campus-wide transition. Financial staff and users who will access the new system received a separate communication earlier today with additional details.

Should you encounter any issues, please utilize one of the many ways to get support, including our call center, ServiceNow request form, and office hours. 

Thank you for your partnership and adaptability as we take this important step forward together.
