Receipt Submission


Submitting Receipts 
  • Receipts must be itemized, show all charges, and show proof of payment. 
    • Do not pay with points as they have no cash value and cannot be reimbursed.  
    • Tips must be kept under 20% of the pre-tax subtotal. The Business Financial Service only allows for a maximum tip of 20% before tax.  
  • Make sure the receipts are legible and include: 
    • Date of Purchase 
    • Merchant name 
    • Total amount paid 
    • Form of payment that states there is a $0 balance 
  • Reimbursement checks will be mailed to the traveler within 4-6 weeks and come in a plain white envelope.  
  • Save all receipts until reimbursement has been received.  
  • Alcohol purchases must be kept on separate receipts
Reimbursement (post-trip) 
  • IMPORTANT! The traveler MUST approve the email from Kuali for the reimbursement or it will not be processed. If a reimbursement is not done within 60 days (i.e. not approved) they will be taxed by the government, not CSU.  
this may also be in the authorized business function form, but it's really helpful to have here as well. thank you!

Authorized Business Function Form

Keep in mind:

  1. Use CSU tax exemption #98-02381 when paying
    1. Some restaurants will honor this and some won’t. CSU will pay for tax when the restaurant won’t honor CSU’s tax-exempt status.
  2. CSU will NOT reimburse more than 20% tip
