According to the Administrative Policy Statement (APS) CU Foundation Transfers , the majority of financial transfers between the University of Colorado Foundation (CU Foundation) and the University of Colorado are processed through the Finance System. This APS further describes specific exceptions to the automated process, i.e., the types of transfers that must be manually processed. When a manual transfer is allowed, per the APS CU Foundation Transfers, the organizational unit requesting the transfer of gift funds from the CU Foundation to the University will use the CU Foundation's Transfer Funds form. Forms that do not comply with the following procedures and instructions will be returned to the requestor for correction prior to the transfer of the funds. Upon receipt of the signed, completed form, the CU Foundation will process the transfer request, contacting the requestor with any questions about the information provided. If the CU Foundation determines that (1) the request is consistent with the gift restrictions, and, (2) the monies are available, then the CU Foundation will include the request in the next weekly transfer of funds to the University. During the transfer process, the Office of the Treasurer will verify the relationship of the gift restriction code and the Expense Purpose Code of each item in the transfer. Inconsistencies/ exceptions will be reported to the appropriate campus controller.
