[BFET] FY17 Year-End Grant Deadlines

[Michele Rockwell]

Just a friendly reminder of the following grant deadlines for SBCTC grants.

June 15, 2017
This is the last day to submit budget revision requests for grants that end June 30, 2017.  Submit those in OBIS<https://obis.sbctc.edu/>.

Organization program and fiscal staff should work together to be sure you've captured all expenses to date and can submit an accurate and final budget revision.

July 13, 2017
This is the last day to submit invoices for all grant expenses through June 30, 2017 (regardless of whether the grant ends June 30, 2017 or continues on into the fiscal year).  Submit those in OBIS<https://obis.sbctc.edu/> as well.

Tip:  The final billing deadline is a tight one.  Some colleges find it helpful to submit as many expenses they can in early July and then submit a final invoice on the billing deadline day.  This is completely acceptable to do.  On that first year-end invoice, give the invoice an end date of 6/29/17 instead of 6/30/17 (OBIS won't let you overlap invoices).  Also, don't check the "final invoice" box on that invoice.  Then when you're ready to submit your "it's really final now" invoice on July 12 or 13, give it a start and end date of 6/30/17 (but type the actual date range into the "comments" field), check the "final invoice" box, and submit it.

Reminder: April Messenger is approving the majority of the invoices now.  If you need assistance with an invoice, contact her first.  You can reach her at 360-704-1021 or amessenger at sbctc.edu<mailto:amessenger at sbctc.edu>

I'm still reviewing your budget revision requests (along with applicable program staff) and am available as a backup for invoicing questions.  You can reach me at 360-704-4343 or mrockwell at sbctc.edu<mailto:mrockwell at sbctc.edu>

Let us know if you have questions.

Thanks.
Michele
