These advances are normally used for human subject payments or research subject payments.  Custodian advances also include petty cash and change funds.  
To request a custodian fund,Department should submit the completed Custodian Fund Request Form, Custodian Fund Agreement Form and Custodian Fund Budget Form to busservapprovals@ls.wisc.edu. These will be reviewed and approved at the Division level and then sent to Cash Management.
