Research Financial Info
How to View/Print eTrac Reports
Over Expenditures (OE)
Finance will notify you when your grant is in OE.
It is the responsibility of the researcher to identify which expenses need to be moved, as well as which speed code they should be moved to.
Please email this information to finance promptly to have these charges corrected or moved.
End Date Extensions
Finance will notify you three months before the upcoming end date.
It is the responsibility of the researcher to acquire approval in writing from the funding agency stating the new approved end date.
Once written approval is received, you can either submit the amendment yourself or send it to dent.finance@ualberta for assistance and we will submit it on your behalf.
It can take two months for the amendment to be completed by RSO. You must be proactive in requesting your end date extension in a timely manner to avoid any issues.
