Student Affairs Business Office Updates

We’d like to share an update regarding the Student Affairs Business Office team that supports RSO finances.

The Business Office has transitioned into the University’s centralized Business Solutions & Analytics team, which means their responsibilities are now distributed differently and across a broader team to better support student organizations.

As part of this new staffing structure:

  • Business Manager, Erika Coffey, will be hosting weekly office hours in CCOM 1207 (next to the Welcome Desk) on Fridays from 1pm-3pm (starting on Friday April 10th), to support drop-in needs for RSO finance questions and provide guidance on processes
    • For those of you who formerly worked most closely with Tommy Nagle, Erika will be learning directly from him and stepping in moving forward
  • You can continue to send inquiries to StudentComptroller@du.edu for the duration of this school year. This inbox is now monitored by Erika and a team of Business Officers 
  • Request forms and processes in CrimsonConnect will remain the same for the duration of this school year. 
  • During this transition, RSOs planning events should continue plan ahead and provide sufficient lead time for business related requests. 
  • You may have received an approval for a Supplemental Funding Request from Fall or Winter Quarters; this is due to a clearing of requests in CrimsonConnect. Reach out to StudentComptroller@du.edu with any questions or concerns.

We appreciate your flexibility as the team transitions and remains committed to supporting RSO financial needs. As always, the Student Engagement team is also here to help point you in the right direction as things transition.
