Welcome Back, Cardinals!
As we begin a new academic year, we would like to welcome faculty and staff back to campus! With the start of the fall semester, this is a great time to review several University policies.
Please take a few minutes to review the current:
Important Travel Reminder – Reimbursements Are Processed After Travel
Under the current Travel Policy, pre-travel reimbursements are not permitted. This includes expenses associated with upcoming University travel, such as conference and event registration fees paid personally by the traveler. Whenever possible, employees should utilize available University payment methods rather than paying out of pocket. Depending on the expense, options may include a departmental P-Card or direct payment to the vendor. If a travel-related expense must be paid personally, the employee may request reimbursement after the travel has concluded. The reimbursement must be submitted within 60 days of the travel return date in accordance with the Accountable Plan Policy.
Reviewing these policies before making purchases, committing University funds, or traveling can help prevent reimbursement delays, policy exceptions, and out-of-pocket expenses.
Thank you for helping us maintain responsible and compliant stewardship of University resources. We wish everyone a successful start to the academic year!
