Welcome to the online request site for Harvard's Cash Management Office (OTM).

Cash Management has contracted with Certain Software to provide an online registration solution for the University.  Individual Departments in schools or allied and affiliate organizations may request access to this service.  Request from school departments must be forwarded to their financial dean’s office for approval.  Requests from central administration departments or affiliates must be forwarded to the appropriate VP or financial director’s office for approval.

This service, Certain Registration, provides a fast and easy way to provide online registration for your conference or event.  With proper training you can build your event yourself or you can contract with Certain Software to build your event for you.  There is a $2.75 fee per registrant.  There is also a 2.3% discount fee charged by card associations and processors for all income accepted via credit cards. Cash Management will charge you via a journal voucher for these charges at the end of the event. Departments are responsible for posting income on a monthly basis. (Refer to Users Guide)  Departments will contract directly with Certain for event build fees or support and training. These charges are billed by Certain in the month the contract is signed.  For details on the options available see the link “Event Options” above.

The links above will let you learn more about the features of the product, training available and let you register for use. You may also download Harvard’s User Guide that describes the process in more detail and outlines the responsibilities for users of Certain Registration and Cash Management.

Once a complete approved request has been received by Cash Management, it will be forwarded to Certain.  Certain or Cash Management will contact you when your account has been setup.  If Certain is building your event please allow a minimum of three weeks from the beginning of the build until you want your event ready to accept registrations.


*Note: Event options are available University-wide. All prices have been negotiated between the Harvard University - OTM and Certain Software for the benefit of Schools/Departments/Business Units with event processing needs.
