ACCREDIATATION EXPENSES

Payment of the services of a team or an individual for the purpose of gaining or maintaining accreditation requires a Personal Services Agreement (Form 802-A) when the cost is $2,000 or more. The Personal Services Agreement must include not only the cost of services, but should itemize all expenses to be paid including lodging, meals and transportation. Payment of expenses will usually be made directly to the organization or individual upon presentation of receipts. If however lodging and meals are to be paid by the University directly to the motel, hotel or restaurant, this must be so stated in the agreement and will be processed in accordance with procedures governing such payments.

After the visit, an Invoice Form (CO-17UC) should be prepared and forwarded to the Accounts Payable Department for payment. A copy of the approved Personal Services Agreement, a bill from the accreditation team or individual and receipts for any claim for expenses over $25 must be attached.

Payment of the services of an accreditation team or individual when the cost is less than $2,000 may be processed on an Invoice Form (CO-17UC) and submitted to the Accounts Payable Department. An invoice from the team or individual and receipts for any expenses over $25 must be attached.
