Cash FAQs

Call the Office of Cash Management (OCM) at 2-7219 to obtain a copy of a cash receipt. You will need to provide the cash receipt total and the date OCM processed the transaction.

As soon as you are expecting a wire transfer, send a cash receipt to the Office of Cash Management. Include any identifying information on the cash receipt (e.g., invoice number and originating person/business, etc.). If you have reason to believe the wire has arrived and has not posted to your account, call OCM at 2-7219.

If you have the validated copy of your cash receipt, call the Office of Cash Management (OCM) with the information from the transaction validation received from OCM. This helps to determine which FOPP the deposit was posted to.

If you do not have the validated copy, provide OCM with the date the cash receipt was delivered and the amount to research.

There are several reasons a transaction can be missing:

  • Item was posted to an incorrect speed type or account code
  • An unresolved discrepancy with cash receipt
  • Delay in processing due to peak period

International checks are items that are payable at a financial institution located outside the United States. They cannot be collected through the Federal Reserve System.

An international check should be submitted to the Office of Cash Management (OCM) with a cash receipt (CR) separate from other cash tenders (e.g., domestic checks, cash, wire transfers, credit cards). Leave the amount field blank. OCM will fill in the amount on the CR and post the deposit to the department’s account after the credit is received for the amount of the exchange rate from the university’s bank.

All checks that are submitted for university business should be payable to the University of Colorado. Checks payable to persons other than the University of Colorado should be returned to the customer for correction.

No, the Office of Cash Management prefers a one-line item on the cash receipt with the description of “grad app fees.” You may create a separate spreadsheet with the list of each individual check for your records.

No, the Office of Cash Management does not cash payroll or personal checks, money orders or traveler’s checks.
