Certain University-incurred expenses, including hosting and travel expenses, will be paid directly by the University, thus eliminating the need to wait to be reimbursed. Reimbursement from the University is allowed only when another source will not reimburse for the same expense. Travel expenses which have been paid by the traveler are reimbursed through the mechanism of a travel expense report. If a travel advance was taken, it should also be accounted for and reconciled on the Travel Expense Report. For more information, check with the department or unit administrator.
