Oracle Financial Applications

Oracle is the University's financial and human resource platform for all transactions and databases. This series of three half day classes is very important to new faculty and staff who have budget development/operations and/or purchasing responsibility.

The following classes are designed for new Oracle users or those who need a refresher course for basic applications in the general ledger and purchasing.

Please note, there is no longer a water cooler at this location.
