Welcome to the UMW Business and Finance Departments!

Our goal is to cooperate and comply with the myriad of regulations the University is governed by while finding means by which students, faculty and staff can carry out their tasks with minimal encumbrance. Whether it be monitoring and reconciling all financial transactions, handling the deposit of all funds received by students and staff, ensuring prompt vendor payments, developing and advertising requests for bids for a particular service, operating an on-line Bookstore, ensuring accurate payments to employees and student workers, or billing for students' tuition and fees - the Business and Finance Departments operate under the policies and laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia to provide accurate and efficient service to the University community and the public.

The Vice President for Administration, Finance, and Legislative Affairs of the University, Richard V. Hurley, oversees the administration and management of the Business and Finance Departments, along with Computer and Network Services, Facilities Services, Human Resources, and Student Affairs. Richard R. Pearce, the Associate Vice President for Business and Finance, works closely with Mr. Hurley while managing the departments falling under the scope of Business and Finance.

• Business Services: Bookstore, EagleOne, Document Center, the Post Office and Dining Services, Purchasing and Central Storeroom.
