The Monfort College of Business at the University of Northern Colorado has maintained both its business and accounting accreditations by AACSB International, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Founded in 1916, AACSB International is the longest serving global accrediting body for business schools that offer bachelors, masters and doctorate degrees in business and accounting.
Less than 5 percent of business schools worldwide have earned this distinguished hallmark of excellence in business and accounting education. To maintain accreditation a program must undergo a rigorous internal review every five years, at which the program must demonstrate its continued commitment to the 21 quality standards relating to faculty qualification, strategic management of resources, interactions of faculty and students. The college must also demonstrate a commitment to continuous improvement and achievement of learning goals in degree programs.
The Monfort College of Business has been accredited by AACSB since 1992.
Your 2012 W-2 Wage and Tax Statement is now available in Ursa. To view and print your W-2 form, log into Ursa, click on the Employee tab, then the Banner Self-Service folder/link, then the Employee folder/link and then the Tax Forms folder/link.
As of 2012, The Affordable Care Act requires employers to report the cost of coverage under an employer-sponsored group health plan. This means that you will see an amount in box 12DD on your W-2 if you have medical, dental, or vision insurance plans through UNC. This amount is the total of the employee and employer costs of your coverage. For more information on this law, please visit http://www.irs.gov/.
Note: Payroll will still provide printed W-2s to those who still prefer to get them in the mail. They'll be mailed out the week of Jan. 21.
Questions can be directed to Payroll Services at 351-2700.
