About Paying

Our Accounts Payable staff is responsible for the payment of goods and services to vendors as well as reimbursements to individuals for costs incurred as part of University business. With an emphasis on maintaining controls, we provide innovative approaches to streamlining the payment process especially for frequent, university-wide purchases. Check out Web Invoice Payments (WIP) for processing OK-to-Pay invoices from your desktop and our Distributed Authority Program for expediting reimbursements. Our knowledgeable staff is available to help with invoice resolution, reimbursement advice and other payment-related questions.
