Financial Operations
Welcome to the University of Michigan Financial Operations website! Whether you're a faculty and staff member, student, parent, alumni of the university, or simply visiting the website to learn more about the institution, it was designed to help you easily and quickly get the information you need.
Financial Operations is comprised of a number of departments that provide a wide range of financial services on behalf of—and for— the university community. These departments include Accounting Services, Financial Reports, Payroll, Sponsored Programs, Student Financial Services, Student Loan Collections, and Teller Services. You can access information about these areas and the services they provide through the navigation on the left side of our website.
Our entire organization is focused on providing our customers with outstanding service. And a robust, user-friendly website is an integral way that we provide you with useful information about Financial Operations and the breadth of services available through our organization. I encourage you to spend some time exploring the website to learn how it can best meet your needs. If you have any comments about the Financial Operations website, please e-mail them to me.
