Some payments can be made directly through the university; others will need to be reimbursed.
- Travel. After every University paid business or research trip, a record of the expenses must be submitted. The best place to start is on the Berkeley Travel website, within the Office of the Vice Chancellor of Finance.
- Many travel expenses can be handled through direct booking; see the "Travel" section of this toolkit.
- Entertainment: If a university employee or student paid out-of-pocket for costs associated with a business meeting or university hosted entertainment event, a record of the expenses and a request for reimbursement must be submitted within 45 days. Find out more at the Controller's Office Expense Reporting website.
- Other expenses. The UC Berkeley Reimbursement System now includes an option to submit a request for all expenses, not just travel and entertainment expenses; for example, lab supplies, conference registration, office supplies, computers, memberships, moving and relocation, and more.
