This system is only used for reimbursements associated with:
Allowable costs listed Program Expense Section below
Travel cost outlined Travel Policy & Reimbursement Section below
Meals outlined in the Meal Reimbursement Policy Section below
Reimbursements submitted that do not align with either of these policies will not be reimbursed.
Advisers should submit the receipts by the due dates outlined on the College Adviser Calendar. Any reimbursements not submitted within the month they occur will not be reimbursed.
For example, if expenses occurred in February and the adviser submits a
reimbursement report in March, the money will not be reimbursed.
Additionally, it is the responsibility of the adviser to ensure the Expensify
report is submitted and any reports that have been kicked back are
addressed and resubmitted within 48 hours. If this procedure is not followed,
reimbursement will not be issued.
REMINDER: All Expensify notifications are sent to your personal email.
REIMBURSEMENT: If you don't receive your reimbursement within 5-7 business days, please reach out to the program assistant via Slack.
Advisers have $200 that can be used to purchase items identified on the Allowable Cost list included in this Allowable Cost Overview Document. If the items are not on the list, advisers are expected to submit the Allowable Cost Exception Form and the program assistant will review to determine if the purchase can be approved. Please do not purchase the item prior to the approval as we may not be able to reimburse you if it's considered an unallowable cost.
