New Budget Group Creation
Account Creation and Control (ACC) creates all new budget groups except for 26 accounts. (For 26 accounts, contact Contracts & Grants).

New Account request forms
To have a new account or budget group created, first fill out the appropriate form:

Educational and General Accounts *
Requests for 18-accounts (Service Centers) should also be accompanied by an official Rate Request packet found at the Controller's web site.

Approval of forms
All requests should be approved by the Dean's Office and then sent to the appropriate person for approval:
14 accounts: Mary Knight, Assoc. VP and Budget Director
18 accounts**: Karen Hutton, General Ledger Manager
     **These must be accompanied by an approved Service Center Rate request
19 accounts: Karen Hutton, General Ledger Manager
20 accounts: Mary Knight, Assoc. VP and Budget Director
26 accounts: Consult the Contracts & Grants section regarding 26 accounts
29 accounts: Karen Hutton, General Ledger Manager

Processing of forms
After approval the new budget group request is sent to ACC for processing. After the budget group is created in the accounting system, *TXMAIL messages are automatically sent to the unit head and to the electronic office manager for the unit code to which the budget group has been assigned. The original approval letter is sent to the accountant who oversees the account.

ACC reviews and processes new budget group requests once a week. During peak periods processing occurs more frequently.
