The fund code indicates individual or cumulative sources of funds as well as the campus location controlling them. Some funds may be restricted; they can be identified by a specific numbering sequence. If the donor places restrictions on how the funds are to be used, the funds are restricted to that use. Fund codes are four characters long.

Fund codes answer the question, "Who are the funds coming from?"

The fund code is the first part of both an account number and an account string. The most current list of funds is available online, in CUFS, on the FUND table.
