  • If fiscal policy issue is not relevent to OSU, request will be returned to Policy Coordinator to be redirected as appropriate.

  • If request is for a minor revision, basic edit or interpretation, fiscal policy/rule will be updated, posted to fiscal policy manual and Policy Coordinator will be notified.
