The Office of the Provost Shared Services Center (formerly the Academic Affairs Other Units Shared Services Center) was launched Summer of 2015 to enhance UMBC’s administrative capabilities. We relaunched in July of 2025 to update our policies and procedures. The OPSSC is a multi-function center providing Human Resources, Payroll, Procurement, Accounts Payable, and Financial Management services.
Our Vision
Our vision is to be a UMBC gold standard for shared services by providing seamless, efficient, and collaborative support in HR, Payroll, Finance, and Grants Management, empowering departments to focus on their core missions while we streamline processes, thus ensuring compliance while delivering exceptional service.
Please note: UMBC is committed to creating an accessible and inclusive environment for all students, staff, and visitors. If you have difficulties accessing any of the materials on our site, please contact us so that we can provide an alternative format and remedy any accessibility challenges.
