3. Purpose Make it easier for college program staff to complete EOPS and CARE budgets Allow for more efficient review time by Chancellor’s Office Allow Chancellor’s Office to have electronic access to statewide budget data Allow for local extraction of SSARCC data from multiple years Save some trees – less paper to submit

4. How Do I Log On? URL: https://misweb.cccco.edu/ssarcc/login.aspx https://misweb.cccco.edu/ssarcc/login.aspx Two Sets of User IDs and Passwords: One set – allows access to input/update data One set - “Read Only” Both sets are unchanged from 2011-12 CCCCO provides IDs and passwords to EOPS director only

5. What Should I Do First? 1.By each line item, review each planned expense that auto-populated from approved planned budget.

11. “Validate” Button Use this to double-check work prior to submitting “Validate” does not lock file

12. “View Draft Expenditure Report” Button Do this when: You’re finished inputting data Report is ready for review by district/college staff before submitting to Chancellor’s Office You can still go back into screens to make changes to data

13. Common Error Message “EOPS funds cannot be used to pay for non EOPS/CARE activities” What does this message mean? This error message may occur for positions in which a percentage of time is assigned to non EOPS/CARE and in which the EOPS time is paid from EOPS funds

14. “EOPS funds cannot be used to pay for non EOPS/CARE activities” The percentage that EOPS pays may not be one dollar more than total percentage time in EOPS/CARE. You may need to round down to determine amount EOPS pays. Example: EOPS technician is assigned 50% to EOPS/CARE and 50% to non EOPS/CARE. Total salary = $40005. Fifty % = $20,002.50. EOPS may pay up to $20,002 (round the 50 cents down) to cover the 50% EOPS time.

15. “Submit to Chancellor’s Office” Button “Submit” after error messages have been addressed and after appropriate local staff have reviewed “Submit” locks final expenditure file “Submit” means final expenditures are officially transmitted to Chancellor’s Office Submit EOPS final expenditures before CARE final expenditures CARE final expenditures must be submitted separately To unlock file, send email to SSARCC help desk: ssarcc- eops@cccco.edu
