Central Administration Support Services (CASS) Request

Administration, Facilities   |   Approved September 1, 2015

Purpose

Submit a request to the Central Administration Support Services (CASS) for assistance.

Applicability

CASS is a shared services group that supports administrative departments on the University campus.  This initiative is being phased in over several years to insure a successful transition to this new business model.  The list of departments that have already moved to this new model can be found at:  Campus Departments Supported by Central Administration Support Services.  

This service center consolidates expertise in the administration of Payroll, Human Resources, Budget, Financial Administration, Travel, Purchasing, and Property Insurance Claims to provide guidance and direct support for specific campus departments. The services provided allow these departments to better utilize resources to focus on their primary objectives, see Services for additional details.
