Payment Process for Conference Travel

Award Offer

We send decisions by email, so students should stay attentive to their inbox. Decision notices are sent from urop@colorado.edu.

Award Acceptance

Students must accept or decline offers using an online form linked in their decision notice by the deadline in the notice.

Personal Information

Students without a CU employee identification number (EID) must submit the Personal Information (PI) form.

Payroll Entry

UROP's payment partners in the Human Resources Service Center (HRSC) enter award information into the payroll system and enroll students without an EID (using information from the PI form).

Direct Deposit

Students without an existing EID will need to setup direct deposit during the "direct deposit window" posted online, and students with an existing EID should double-check their information at this time.

Payment

Student awards are issued in one payment on the date posted in the decision notice. Students should check their accounts to ensure payment was received, and contact us as questions arise.
