Interlocation Transfer of Funds Form Instructions
The following instructions detail how to transfer funds using the Interlocation Transfer of Funds (ITF) form. If you are receiving funds from another campus through the ITF process, click here.
Before you begin, obtain the OP Location, Account and Fund numbers for your department and for the receiving location. In addition, know the account strings for both locations. Note: You cannot cross funds on an ITF if you are transferring from a fund established by OP (19900, 07427, 69750, various endowment funds). In these cases, a multicampus agreement is required; contact Extramural Funds Accounting for details.

Designation of Location
Each campus has both a numeric and an alpha location. Most campus departments are in the numeric location for each campus. The alpha locations are for Systemwide activities/programs. In completing an Interlocation Transfer of Funds, you will need to know if you are transferring funds to another campus' numeric or alpha location.
Most transfers will be to the numeric location, in which case the Loc 1 box will be completed with 01-10 and the Loc 2 box will be completed with a 1.
If you are transferring to an alpha location at another campus then the Loc 2 box will be completed with a 2. The numeric and alpha locations for all UC campuses are below.
