In December 2013, McMaster University began the implementation of a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
Mosaic is McMaster’s PeopleSoft-based administrative information system. It currently handles multiple functions, including:
- Student Administration
- Finance
- Research Administration
- Human Resources
Financial policies direct how all revenues and expenses are processed within McMaster. These policies can be found at the Financial Affairs website.

Professional Development Allowance Learn More
Every McMaster University Faculty Association (MUFA) member has a professional development allowance available for their use. The allowable expenses and policies outlining the procedures can be found on the Financial Affairs website.
Travel Resources Learn More
When planning to attend educational conferences that will be supported by the department it is required that the expenses be pre-approved by an authorized person. A fillable PDF document is available for your convenience. Once completed, please speak with the appropriate person to have it approved. A copy should be forwarded to the finance manager and the original retained to be attached to the actual expenses after the travel is completed.
Some particularly helpful policies include the travel policy, which outlines appropriate expenses and the rates that are allowed.
Deposits Deposit Form (PDF)
Cheques received to support the department programs, to register for an event or for reimbursement should be deposited to the specific account using the deposit form.
These should be properly approved by the director of administration or finance manager.
Donations received that require a charitable donation receipt to be issued by McMaster should be forwarded to the Advancement Department for processing. Please discuss this with the director of administration or finance manager so that all necessary information is included.
Please contact University Advancement, Development for more information at 905-525-9140 ext. 24224 or by email.
