Reimbursements
A reimbursement to an individual (RTI) is defined as a payment to an individual for business expenses incurred on behalf of the University and paid for with personal funds. The University will reimburse individuals for business related purchases up to $500.00. Supporting documentation and proof of payment is required for all reimbursement requests. These items become the sole property of the University (Policy 1201). For a detailed list of University authorized reimbursable items refer to the Quick Reference Quide to Reimbursable Expenses.
The University may only reimburse reasonable and prudent business expenses. Examples of non-reimbursable expenditures include, but are not limited to:
- Personal in nature
- Responsibility of another entity
- Services rendered by a company or individual
Method of Reimbursement
- Employees must utilize the GEMS system for reimbursements.
- Non-employees should be processed on a Direct Payment Voucher (DPV).
Refer to the PPS Preferred Purchasing Methods for guidelines prior to making a purchase.
