Fiscal year-end processing for FY2026 will begin on Thursday, September 3, at 1:00 PM.
To ensure a smoother and more reliable year-end close, FAMIS will close at noon and transition to inquiry-only mode. This approach gives critical staff time to complete processing, resolve issues during normal business hours and be ready to support users the next business day. Users will also have access on Friday morning to validate closing activity and begin FY2027 and Month 13 processing.
A Friday closure was given thorough and lengthy consideration. Closing on Thursday avoids extending support needs into the Labor Day weekend and reduces unnecessary strain on users and staff.
