Individually attend a scientific conference and present research • Amount: $250 • Differences: • Include an abstract • Your name goes in the “Preparer Name” field of the T&B form

FAQ • 1. What do I put for the account codes/purpose on the T&B form? • Nothing, don’t change the numbers that are already listed. Only change the dollar amount. • 2. When will I get my money? • The SEC checks the mailbox every week. Forms should be reviewed in less than a week, at which time you will receive an email. University turnaround time is 3-4weeks (15-20 business days). • 4. Ten people helped pay for this event, how should we do the reimbursement? • Fill out one reimbursement form and have one check disbursed. That payee should distribute money among individuals. • 5. I paid an individual (band, DJ, speaker) with a personal check. Can I get reimbursed? • Don’t do this!
