2026 Fiscal Year-End Close

This website provides instructions and guidance in the preparation for the annual closing process. This is provided with the intent to assist in coordinating the needs of academic and administrative departments with the requirements of the UC Office of the President (UCOP), the University, the Accounting & Fiscal Services Department, and other service departments.

Fiscal Year Close Memo

The information contained in the 2026 Fiscal Year-End Close Information and Dates memo from Barry Oh, Assistant Vice Chancellor and Controller provides instructions and guidance in preparation for the annual closing process. This is intended to help coordinate the needs of academic and administrative departments with the requirements of the Office of the President (UCOP), the University, the Accounting & Fiscal Services Department, and other service departments.

Calendar of Deadlines and Important Dates

We are collectively required to meet the University’s internal close deadlines as well as those established by UCOP. To assist departments in meeting the deadlines, the Calendar of Deadlines and Important Dates has been organized by due dates. Please note: If your dean or other administrative officer has set earlier deadlines, those take precedence over the dates in the attached.

All departments should use the Kuali Financial System (KFS) to record financial activity as appropriate. This year’s fiscal year-end close process will follow the same general timeline as the prior year with minor changes to certain cutoffs. Closing procedures for June 2026 (period 12) will be completed in KFS.
