  • Common Financial System (CFS) MP 5.0 Upgrade:  

    The CFS application will undergo an application upgrade beginning 5pm Friday, November 18, through 9am Monday, November 21.  The CFS and Finance Data Warehouse applications will be down during this time. The upgraded CFS MP 5.0 database will be available again on Monday 11/21 at 9am

    In preparation for this release, CFS users are advised to clear browser cache before logging into the CFS application on Monday morning. 

    While the functionality of the system is not changing for end users, the look and feel is slightly changing for the home page and navigation.

    To assist with these changes and to learn more about the upgrade, the CSU Chancellor Office (CO) has created an online video explaining the changes and enhancements. The CO also posted the following FAQ document for this upgrade.
