Have you ever wondered what happens behind the scenes when a purchase is made, a student receives a refund, or a university budget is developed?
To help employees better understand the services and operations that support Kent State University, the Division of Finance and Administration has developed KSU Finance Fundamentals, a self-paced Canvas training curriculum that introduces participants to key Business Operations offices and their roles within the university.
Currently available modules include:
Introduction to the Division of Finance and Administration
Budget Office
Procurement
Bursar Office
The Controller's Office module is currently in development and will be added soon.
Each module provides a brief overview of the office's responsibilities, key services, and resources available to support faculty, staff, and students. Whether you are new to Kent State or have been part of the university community for years, these modules offer a convenient way to learn more about the teams and processes that help keep the university running.
Participation is voluntary and open to all faculty and staff. We encourage you to explore the modules and gain a better understanding of the many offices that support Kent State's mission every day.
About KSU Finance Fundamentals
KSU Finance Fundamentals was originally developed to orient new employees in finance-related roles by providing foundational knowledge of Business Operations functions. The program also helps employees navigate university processes more effectively by increasing their understanding of the roles, responsibilities, and services of key administrative offices.
