Tips for Successful Reimbursement

The following tips apply to ALL types of reimbursements (travel, professional development, cellphone, supplies, etc.):

• Attach original receipts (email & web receipts are OK; a photocopy of cash register receipts is NOT ok).
• Double check your math.  Make sure the receipts add up to the line total.
• Include YOUR NAME & COLLEGE ID# ( believe it or not, this is the most omitted piece of information!).
• Completed forms should be reviewed by your supervisor, then sent to Carol for payment.
• Submit reimbursements in a timely manner – all reimbursements should be submitted within 30 days of expense, 60 days max (except in June when the time window is shorter due to the end of the fiscal year).
• Have questions on what type of expense is allowed?  See http://www.middlebury.edu/about/handbook/misc/travel .
• Travel to Bread Loaf campus in VT: Enter 26 miles in the reimbursement form.
