Business Resources
ALVSCE Business Officers are essential and vital contributors to the Division’s mission and vision. The expectations for these positions are high: professionalism, mastery of work, stewardship and partnership in furtherance of the Division’s strategic goals. Business and operational efficiency and effectiveness are stated goals that we embrace as necessary to achieve the strategic intent and maximize the impact of the Division. ALVSCE Business Officers inspire their unit colleagues to provide outstanding business services to faculty, researchers and staff and they join with their peers to foster public stewardship, accountability, and the highest standards of professional ethics. Continuous professional development, mentoring and raising the performance bar are a core value in ALVSCE.
The Business Resources page has been created to support Business Officers and Unit Heads in a partnership to achieve these goals.
“Be the most effective, efficient, responsive, flexible, and financially sustainable college on campus.”

Required Business Practices are developed through a thoughtful and intensive review of a business activity. They are established to provide units with a consistent and data-informed approach to business operations. The required practices listed here are specific to ALVSCE, meaning that the Division has determined additional requirements, which must be followed, that exceed the scope of an established University policy.
Please note, these are separate from items listed on the Policies and Forms page, as that page addresses various university operational areas, and are not solely focused on business practices.
If you have questions regarding any Required Business Practice, please reach out to the DBS Rates and Review Team at DBS-RatesAndReview@arizona.edu
