Welcome to the Cash and Banking sections of Carleton’s Business Operations.
Cash Office
The Cash Office (also called Receipt Accounting) processes all of the incoming financial transactions for the university, including student payments, grant funding, and ancillary sales.
The Cash Office provides services remotely during regular business hours (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday).
There are two options available for your clients who wish to make payments to the university:

In order to identify your payment properly, request the sender to enclose a copy of the invoice or any other supporting documents with their payment.
