If money is due to the employee/student, please submit the form directly to Accounts Payable.

EXPENDITURE APPROVAL REQUEST FORM

Please submit this form to obtain approval for expenditures that exceed your invoice signature authority. Allow adequate lead-time, especially if the vendor needs a check when the goods or services are delivered. Obtain an IRS form W9 from individuals and new vendors.

CASH RECEIPT TRANSMITTAL

This form is used when submitting coins, currency, checks, and/or money orders for deposit. Complete all sections of the form. Please be sure to record the organization/department code and the account code the funds are to be credited, along with a brief description of the deposit. A receipt will be issued by the cashier upon request for you to compare to your records.

Subject to normal approval processes and official approval, anyone whose duties involve purchasing small goods or traveling for the College may apply for a College Credit Card. All cardholders must submit receipts and explanations for all charges by the end of every month by logging into AP Solutions and completing a transaction envelope. Credit Card statements are released on or around the 20th of each month.

CREDIT CARD APPLICATION

W9 – REQUEST FOR TAXPAYER ID NUMBER

The Accounts Payable office needs a taxpayer ID number before writing a check to any individual who is not an employee or any business providing services to the college. Give a W9 to any non-employee who needs to be paid by the College (e.g., speakers, consultants, artists), ask them to fill it in, and return it to you. Submit the form along with their invoice or your check request. Note that employees can be paid only through payroll, although reimbursement for expenses will come from Accounts Payable. W9s are not needed for expense reimbursement requests.
