Keeping you involved and informed
UVAFinance strives to be your trusted financial partner.
This involves close collaboration with you, our financial and administrative professionals across Grounds. The Change Enablement and Continuous Improvement team is pleased to partner with the Central Finance team and our partners across UVA to facilitate this collaboration.
It's our privilege to assist you!
Stay Informed
Find regularly updated helpful info in these sources:
- The UVAFinance Blog: The blog is updated continually. Every two weeks, we send a digest of the top news items to a mailing list made up of all Workday Finance users and others who have requested it. Contact AskFinance to be added to the list if you don’t receive the digest. You can always find the latest issue of the digest under the UVAFinance News Ticker on the homepage of our website.
- Fiscal Administrators’ Meeting & Newsletter: Fiscal Administrators meet monthly via Zoom. Various Finance departments are on the agenda each month, sharing information and gathering feedback. The meeting recording and a summary of items covered are distributed after each meeting (The “Top of Mind Newsletter”). To see the yearly meeting schedule and materials from past meetings, click on “Meetings and Resources” just to the left on this page, and choose “Fiscal Administrators.” Contact AskFinance to be added to the Fiscal Administrators’ mailing list.

To ensure you’re using the most up-to-date version of our forms and resources, always access them from the website instead of downloading files to your computer.
