How do I get reimbursed for a purchase I made?

Complete a request for payment [xls].  Give it to your treasurer or account director.  They will sign it, add the account number to be charged, and deliver it to Accounting.

I do not have the original receipt, will a copy be okay?

Yes, detailed copies are fine.

I lost my receipt. Can I still get reimbursed?

In order to be reimbursed, we must have a detailed copy of the receipt. Most vendors are able to provide you a copy upon request.

Where do I get short order forms?

DCGA organizations should get short order forms from the Financial Chair of the DCGA.  Donterio Porter is the current Chair.  All other faculty, staff, and students should visit the Purchasing Department on the third floor of the Doane Administration building to obtain short order forms.

Where can short order forms be used?

Short order forms can be used at these local merchants.

What do I do with the Short Order Form after I have made my purchase?

Attach the original receipt to the yellow copy of the short order form and send it to Accounting.  The green copy goes to Purchasing.  Both Accounting (1st floor) and Purchasing (3rd floor) are located in Doane Admin.  The pink copy of the short order form goes to the treasurer/account director for their records.

How do I pay an individual for services to the University?

If an individual will be performing services on campus, a contract is required.  Contact Purchasing for help in preparing a contract.  Accounting will need the individual's social security number, current mailing address, and IRS form W9 [pdf].
