Payment Procedures

Expenses for Official and Employee Training Functions will be paid by an intramural order (IMO) when goods and services are obtained from within the University. If costs are incurred outside the University a check request or Departmental Purchase Order (DPO) may be used. Original detailed receipts or invoices should be attached along with the original Official and Employee Training Function Request. Receipts from restaurants or hotels must be the detailed ticket rather than a ticket stub or credit card receipt. When an official or training function is conducted while an individual is on travel status, the related costs can be claimed on the Travel Expense Sheet.
