If you need assistance with the above security roles or User Preference Definitions, please contact your local college supervisor or IT Admin to request role access.

NOTE: This is for a Project that is NOT attached to a Grant. At times, after a Project is awarded, a budget modification is needed.  

The budget modification needs to be completed within the Project Costing Module as to keep the Project and Commitment Control in synch.
