Departmental Deposits


The Bursar’s Office is the official depository for all University funds. All campus departments collecting funds on behalf of Rice University must deposit cash and checks with the Bursar’s Office. Cash Handling Guidelines must be followed.

Web Departmental Deposits

Cash and/or check deposits must be recorded electronically using TouchNet U.Commerce Central. Through TouchNet U.Commerce Central, departmental users prepare online deposits which allows the user to determine the tender type and to allocate those funds to the appropriate account string.

TouchNet User Training

Individuals must be trained and have the appropriate security access. Please contact bursar@rice.edu to schedule user training or for any questions related to web departmental deposits.

Credit Card Deposits

For credit card receipts settled outside of TouchNet, a GL Department Journal must be submitted to record daily business activity to the appropriate revenue account in iO. Please contact General Accounting for more information.
