Effective July 1, 2008, the legacy FRS (Financial Records System) system will be replaced by the new Banner Finance System. This implementation is part of the Unified Digital Campus (UDC) project that was announced last fall. The new UDC Finance System will streamline finance and administration business processes to improve efficiency and effectiveness in budget management and planning.
