Reimbursement for non-travel expenses
For help with purchasing goods and services, please contact your Building Manager. The Building Manager can help determine the best purchasing method to use: a requisition/purchase order, P-card, or direct payment. The Building Manager can also help determine what forms need to be completed to appropriately document and justify the vendor used and price to be paid.
For an emergency purchase, contact your Building Manager. If this is not possible, University policy states that "University staff may purchase items under $500 needed for emergencies and request reimbursement with proper documentation including original receipts and authorized signature." To request reimbursement, complete an electronic Expense Report via the Chrome River Travel and Expense System with the correct chartfield string (budget), attach original receipts, and submit. For more details about purchasing guidelines, please refer to the University Policy: Purchasing Goods and Services.
