Fingate is an instructional website that allows campus users to quickly find information to perform financial activities efficiently, correctly, and within policy. Topic Overviews are available for all financial processes and provide links to related content (including classes, how-to instructions, policy, reporting, resources and forms).

Use the Learning Path Generator to get a sequenced list of online and classroom courses you should take to meet your learning goals, including related system access and authority privileges. It will generate the list based on the criteria you select: Financial Tasks, Financial Systems or Courses.
