Faculty Reimbursements/Expense Reconciliation

  • Reimbursement of expenses is processed according to your available funding source balance in your faculty research accounts (research, start-up, a separate grant fund you may have received, etc.). Reimbursements will be processed up to the amount you have available. If your accounts are in deficit, we will not submit reimbursements on your behalf.
  • Faculty members are expected to track their expenses and reimburse the university to cover any deficits in their account(s). The Department will not cover these deficits.
  • Effective September 2019, the Department of Spanish and Portuguese will no longer reimburse individual food receipts; we will process per diem only. This is often to your benefit, as per diem is frequently higher than individual receipts. Learn more about per diem here. You may claim per diem for as many days of travel as you wish, up to the total days of travel. If you do not have enough funds to cover the total amount of per diem requested, you can be reimbursed up to your available funds.
  • Pre-approval is required for all trips. In response to COVID-19 and effective March 12, 2020, all domestic and international travel must be approved using Concur Request prior to booking a trip. Currently: External internet airfare purchases are not allowable during the COVID-19 health crisis. Updates to this policy will be posted when received by the University. Please take special care to account for fees related to Concur and Christopherson Business Travel tickets:
    • A $20 additional fee will be charged for all international tickets.
    • A $20 additional service fee will be charged on domestic tickets if you book your flight using a Christopherson Travel Agent and not the Concur System.
  • You will be responsible for complying with university rules and regulations around purchases made using your University Travel Card. All university card holders are required to submit receipts within 30 days from the last day of their business-related travel.
