External Reimbursement Requests

External reimbursements refers to all reimbursement requests handled outside Chrome River

Everyone requesting external reimbursement (one-time, non-recurring) should complete a Non-Employee Reimbursement Google form, found here: https://forms.gle/2wXjTK8NQSXyCHvd7 This form must be completed before reimbursement can be processed. All receipts related to the reimbursement (airfare, lodging, transit, supplies, etc) must be uploaded to this form.

Both the chartfield string and the payee's authorization are required for reimbursement.

Questions may be directed to ECE-CSEpurch@umn.edu.
