Cashiering Services
Overview
Bank Deposit Drop Off
Departments not receiving a direct armored car pickup should transport their deposits to the Evanston or Chicago Depository Services Office. The cashier will accept the sealed deposit bag and provide a receipt. These deposits are picked up from the Bursars' offices daily by an armored car carrier and transported to the bank
Change Funds
Change funds are made available as an advance to authorized cash handling units for the purpose of making change for currency sales and/or services. Accounting Services approves and sets up change funds.
For temporary change funds, a check advance can be requested through Accounts Payable and the check can be cashed at the Depository Services Office.
With advance notice, Depository Services can provide change for authorized change funds.
Petty Cash Funds
Depository Services will provide initial and replenishment funds for authorized petty cash funds after a fund has been approved and set up by Accounting Services.
