Alternatives to Printed Statements
In order to help the University of Michigan achieve a greener campus, the printed or mailed Statements of Activity (SOAs) will no longer be available after January 2010. This information is readily available through eReconciliation, BusinessObjects, and online versions of the reports. Use these alternatives to reconcile your monthly activity online without printing – and help U-M conserve energy and resources!
