If you have employees in your area leaving the University who are the named PI of a federal award(s), they will need to have a Proxy and/or Designee approved to certify the related effort after their departure. The form and directions for requesting these assignments are available on our website.

SPAR modifications and SWCTs are downloaded overnight every business day to ECC. It is important to note that SPAR/SWCT adjustments made on a Friday will not appear in ECC until the following Monday morning. This becomes important near the end of a certification period when PIs should be informed that Friday’s modifications will not be available for certification over the weekend.

When modifying May – August SPARs from July 1 until November 30, the following pop-up box will appear when you click the Save button. This alert is to remind you that entity 02 lines on this SPAR with May and/or June dates will be subject to fiscal year end cut off rules:

  • Charges to an entity 02 or 03 account will appear in the new fiscal year (FY22).
  • Credits to an entity 02 or 03 account will default to a General University account.
