History

The University Collections Office can be traced back to 1925 when the University created the Auditor of Student Organization's Office. In the 1950's the Student Loan operation was added to the original area as well as the University Scholarships and Work-Study Office. In the mid 1960's the office was named the Business Office for Student Finance (BOSF). During the 1980's, the Accounts Receivable Office was transferred from the University's general accounting area to BOSF. At that time, the Scholarships and Work-Study Office was transferred to the Bursar's area. In 1992, the office was re-organized and re-named the University Collections Office.
