EFS at UMD

EFS System


























Committee Update

TRAINING, TRAINING, TRAINING!

Prerequisite training, such as Accounting 101 and Chart of Accounts, has already taken place in order to prepare users for the next step. Basic Accounting II is currently available online for those who might need that as a prerequisite.

Individual Financial System Training Plans have been determined and sent to those who have been identified as users in the EFS System. Some of the training will be classroom based and some will be online.

Basic Accounting and Chart of Accounts are the base prerequisites for almost all EFS courses. Most staff on campus have already completed these, with the others to be done in May. Please remember that you must have completed both assessments before proceeding with the rest of your training plan.
