Updated Cost Transfer Resources

A review of recent Cost Transfer requests has led to a clarification about the receipt of cost transfer requests received on day 90.  Under 90 day cost transfer requests must be received in the OSP Cost Transfer inbox by 4:30 PM on day 90 to be reviewed as an under 90 day cost transfer. The clarifying language is as follows: “Please note: This inbox is monitored during normal business hours (generally Monday-Friday from 9 AM – 4:30 PM). Under 90 day CT requests received after this time on day 90 will not be reviewed as under 90 day cost transfers and must be resubmitted as over 90 day cost transfers. OSP cannot guarantee that requests will be approved in less than two business days.  Please plan your requests accordingly to adhere to policy and university deadlines.”

This language has been incorporated in the following resources on the Cost Transfer Policy website: the Cost Transfer Procedures (link updated 10/29/2021), the Cost Transfer Process webpage, and the Cost Transfer Calculator.

Cost Transfer Preparer Checklist (link updated 11/12/2021) has also been added as a resource. The purpose of this document is to help administrators ensure all the appropriate support is included in their Cost Transfer request before submitting for approval. This resource should expedite the review and approval of requests. 

Please note that all of these documents have been re-formatted to adhere to Harvard’s Digital Accessibility Policy.
