Training and Guidance

University Resources

Many of the financial processes used within CALS follow standard university-wide policies and procedures established by NC State University. We encourage users to reference the official university training resources for system-wide guidance on finance systems, policies, and core procedures.

CBO Financial Resources

This section is intended to complement, not replace, university resources. Below, you will find CALS Business Operations (CBO)-specific trainings that provide additional guidance, clarification, and college-level processes where practices may differ or require additional context.

Legacy Moodle Trainings (Temporary Access)

We are currently transitioning CBO training and guidance resources from Moodle to this webpage. The Moodle site remains available during this update process, but will eventually be retired as content is reviewed and moved.

CBO Uprooted Myths

Common misconceptions about business processes can lead to confusion, inconsistent practices, and unnecessary delays. The CBO Uprooted Myths resource helps address this by providing clear clarifications on frequently misunderstood topics and reinforcing correct application of policies and procedures.
