Card & Cash Handling
Training Helpful Hints
Administration and Finance has been
working with departments across campus to
determine which employees should be enrolled
in specific Finance role-based training for
FY09 based on each employee’s respective job
duties. Please keep the following in mind as
employees are hired and job duties are
assigned:
All employees (students, staff &
faculty) who handle university cash
(cash, checks & payroll checks) or are
involved in the credit card acceptance
process should be in Security Sensitive
Position and are required to have an
approved background check on file prior
to performing these duties.
All employees must successfully
complete one of the following trainings
prior to handling cash:
Cash Security Procedures
Training – handle cash only.
Cash Deposit & Security
Procedures Training – handle cash
and process deposits.
All employees must successfully
complete the associated following
trainings prior to accessing, accepting
or processing credit card transactions:
Credit Card Data Security – have
access to credit card data.
Credit Card Processing – process
credit card register transactions.
Credit Card Accounting – process
credit card deposits.
Cash and Credit Card training must
be taken each fiscal year. Each related
training must be retaken during each
designated mandatory training period if
the job duties are still being
performed.
If during the year new employees (or
employees who are assigned new duties)
will handle cash or credit card
transactions, they must successfully complete the
appropriate training before they perform
these duties. Employees may enroll in
the online trainings by going to
http://www.uh.edu/adminservices/
and selecting the link to Training
Administration > Finance Online
Training.
The mandatory training season for FY09
will begin October 1, 2008. Look for updates
in the monthly Business Notes & News.

handling and/or credit card acceptance
responsibilities, contact the
