The Division of Finance and Administration at SUNY Oneonta provides leadership and services to enhance and promote responsible stewardship of the physical, human, technology, and financial resources of the campus. The Division is guided by the university’s mission to nurture a community where students grow intellectually, thrive socially, and live purposefully. Our work advances the values of inclusivity, service, and sustainability as we seek to be an exemplar residential campus.

The Division is comprised of numerous administrative offices and departments, organized into the following areas of operation: Budget, Finance and Business Services, Facilities and Safety, Technology, Sustainability, and Research, Grants and Contracts. The Division is responsible for affiliated organizational activities in Research Foundation Operations, Oneonta Auxiliary Services, and financial management for the University Foundation. The Division also maintains oversight of the SICAS Center, a SUNY-wide information system support center hosted on the SUNY Oneonta campus.

Our mission is to:

Provide services that advance the overall SUNY Oneonta mission to nurture a community where students grow intellectually, thrive socially and live purposefully.

We are committed to leadership in the management and integrity of SUNY Oneonta's human, financial, technology, physical and information resources.

We serve students, faculty, staff, and the greater SUNY Oneonta community in the most responsive, effective, and efficient manner consistent with Federal, State and University policies.
