Accounting has evaluated the time and effort that goes into providing departments additional services such as rush processing, routing checks to the front desk for pickup and sending wires and drafts. These services require additional handling outside of our normal processes, and as a result, we are implementing fees for those processes.
Accounting strives to process all completed disbursement requests within 10 – 20 business days from date of receipt. Rush processing should only be used in those situations where a campus department can not wait for our normal processing time.
Rush checks/special handling check processing is not available for online Travel Expense Voucher (TEV) system requests.
We encourage all employees/vendors to utilize direct deposit. The direct deposit request forms for both vendors and employees and information can be found on our website in the Forms Section.
Special Handling Fees for Payment Processing
Exceptions will be made for Payroll checks (including 72-hour checks), settlement requests, payments to foreign visitors, payment for athletic services or performances (due to regulations/contracts), and student awards. Other exceptions will be handled by Accounting on a case by case basis.
