The web based Travel & Expense reimbursement system for out of pocket spending is to be used for employees only. Therefore paper hard copy reimbursement forms should be used for reimbursements to non-employees (mainly used for students internally). See additional section for Travel Voucher for Student/Guest (non-employee) for instances such as guest speakers.  

The electronic templates for Employee Expense Reimbursements and Travel Vouchers  Travel Voucher Form (new form available as of 1/1/2325) are available on the BFAS Forms page and are only to be used for non-employees. For Students that are on payroll as student employees, it is possible to submit the reimbursement for myslice. Since we often don't know if a student is on payroll (could have another position on campus), then we use the Travel voucher for travel expenses, and a PR (see details below) for expense reimbursements.

A purchase requisition should be used to reimburse a non-employee for our out of pocket expenseexpenses. This form is not used to request reimbursement of travel expenses, unless the reimbursements is to a company (with expenses outlined in an invoice). 

For the College of Law this form is typically used for student reimbursements. For reimbursements to consultants and guests to their associated company, an invoice and W9 should be provided. 

The requisition should outlines the funding (chartstring), details of the expense being reimbursed, the business purpose, and who is being reimbursed (name, SUID, address).

• Please make sure all sections of the PR are complete:
  • Assign a unique requisition # on top of the form
  • The date the req is completed (top and center section of the form)
  • Student Name and address can be listed in the vendor section or main body. The address listed should match their permanent address in myslice, as this is where payment will be mailed. 
  • Student SUID provided, and preferably their class year or clearly stated College of Law student.
  • Dept contact info to include the name & extension of the person completing the form.The date the req is completed (top and center section of the form)
