This page serves two purposes. The first is to provide an easy way to inform members how to work our financial system, the second is to provide the tool that lets them communicate accurately and timely with me, the treasurer. I can get them payment within ten days of receiving the bill, if they ask. Kevin writes a voucher, which instructs the UI to write a check to Jen and mail it to her dorm.
Cash advances come, well, in advance of the sale.
Doug then makes the purchase and returns the reciept, and the money left over from the cash advance to Kevin. Kevin clears the cash advance, and the university lets Kevin graduate. We pay you, you pay them, you give back extra and receipt. Vouchers are easier than cash advances, so if your personal funds can take it, go for the voucher every time. If not let me know and we'll arrange the cash advance.
