The University will reimburse faculty, staff, students, and non-UCSD affiliates for allowable expenses incurred during official University business. 

Events

To request reimbursement for non-travel event expenses, all faculty, graduate students, and staff must complete the Reimbursement Request Form [PDF] and submit it to Fiscal Support, Tina Hoang. A participant list along with the  event receipts must be submitted to Fiscal Support before the payment will be authorized. All event reimbursement requests are due within 14 days after the event.

Some examples of qualifying events:

  • Meals for research participants
