A copy of the Drexel University Tax Exemption Certificate will be given upon request. Drexel University does not reimburse individuals for sales tax.

Note: Any student or group of students found to be using Drexel University’s Sales Tax Exemption Certificate for personal use may face disciplinary action through the Office of Student Conduct & Community Standards, lose access to all funding for their organizations, and may have their recognition suspended.

  12. Forms Chapter 3 Purchasing Forms/ Documentation Drexel University has several different forms which are required for different types of purchases and reimbursements. We will go into detail on what each one is and what information is necessary. There are 3 main forms you will need to know as a student organization treasurer: • Check Request Form • Cash Reimbursement Form • Purchase Order Form

  13. Check Request Form Chapter 3 Purchasing Forms/ Documentation There are 3 sections which must be completed before your check request will be accepted: • Section 1: Payee Information • Payee Name • Address • Drexel ID # or SS#/EIN# • Section II: Justification • Detailed Description explaining payment or reimbursement • Section III: Funding Source • Fund # • Org # • Cost Center Title • Amount 1 1 2 3

  14. Check Request Form Cont… Chapter 3 Purchasing Forms/ Documentation Check Requests are used to pay for services where credit cards are not accepted. They are also used to reimburse students for expenses they paid out of pocket with debit card, credit card, check, or cash over $100.00 Section 1: Payee Information: • Put the name of the person or business to be paid. (This is not the name of the person submitting the request). • Put the Home (for an individual) or Business (for a business) address in the address field where the check is to be mailed. • Put the ID#, SS#, or EIN# as appropriate: • If the check is going to a Drexel University Faculty Member, Staff Member, or Student the University ID number is required. Do not submit a social security number • If the check is going to an individual who is not a faculty member, staff member, or student at Drexel University, their social security number is required. • If the check is going to a business, we require the Employer Identification Number (EIN). This is sometimes referred to as the Tax Identification Number. Note: Without the ID#, SS#, or EIN# the check request cannot be processed. It will be returned to your organization as an “Unprocessed Request” which will be explained further in this presentation.

  15. Check Request Form Cont… Chapter 3 Purchasing Forms/ Documentation Section 2: Justification & Delivery: • Put a very detailed description explaining the payment or reimbursement. Your explanation should answer the following questions: • What is being paid or reimbursed? • Include Dates of events, whether it’s partial or full payment, include event name, etc. • Why is it being paid or reimbursed? • Include whether it was per signed contract agreement, verbal agreement, etc. Bad Example: “Reimbursement for airfare to conference” Good Example: “Partial Reimbursement to Jane Smith for airfare travel to ‘Student Org Leadership Conference’ hosted by Nationals December 10-13, 2008” Bad Example: “Reimbursements for skating party” Good Example: “Reimbursement for variety of colored paints, sidewalk chalk, and foam brushes to advertise for Ice Skating Party on December 12, 2008” Note: If your justification is too vague, your request may be returned to your organization as Unprocessed for clarification. • Pick-up / US Mail / US Mail with Enclosures: • Pick-up: Accounts Payable has phased this option out. If you choose Pick-Up the check will still be mailed through USPS. • US Mail: This option is what will be followed unless asked to mail with enclosures. • With Enclosures: This option is used when other documents need to be mailed with the check such as registration forms, etc.

Check Request Form Cont… Chapter 3 Purchasing Forms/ Documentation Section III: Funding Source: • Fund Code - Put the Fund # of your 17 or 71 account number in this field. • Org Code - Put the Org # of your 17 or 71 account number in this field. • Leave Account Code and Activity Code fields blank. • Cost Center Title – Put the name of your student organization in this field • Amount – Put the dollar amount to be covered by this account number • You will notice there are four rows. This is because the total cost of an expense can be split between multiple account numbers. • Please be sure to put the proper Fund # and Org # combinations. Incorrect combinations will cause your request to be kicked back by Accounts Payable as unprocessed until corrected. Example of what this will look like upon completion:

Mileage When using a personal vehicle you are not able to be reimbursed gas and tolls by receipt but rather by mileage. Mileage is reimbursed at a rate of $0.50/mile. Mileage is calculated as such: Roundtrip mileage distance x $0.50/mile = Total Amount In some cases, the total mileage may be more than an organization wants to reimburse. You can do partial mileage to total the amount of gas/toll receipts. Documentation for mileage is not gas/toll receipts but google map printouts showing mileage from point A to point B. Example: John Doe is told he will be reimbursed gas for driving students to Villanova University for an event. John Doe purchases $15.00 in gas and saves the receipt. John Doe turns in the receipt to the student organization for reimbursement.

  40. Chapter 8 – Internal Charges This chapter will focus on: • Brief overview of contract process. More formal contract training will be available on the SAFAC Website.

  41. Internal Charges Chapter 8 Internal Charges Internal charges are charges which are applied to your account from Drexel University departments such as: • Event Services • Public Safety • Sodexho (34th St. Caterers) • Facilities Management • Drexel Transportation These charges are applied based on services requested directly by your organization to these departments. The SAFAC Office is not involved with the requesting of these services for your groups.

  42. Internal Charges cont… Chapter 8 Internal Charges Things to Do to Insure Correct Charges: • Thoroughly review the confirmations which are sent to your organization and contact the appropriate department immediately if something is incorrect. Note: Waiting until after your event to contact the departments to make corrections for mistakes on your confirmations may result in your organization having to pay the original confirmed price without the corrections. • Check the account number listed on the confirmation for charging. It is the responsibility of your organization to make sure that the appropriate account number (either your 17-SAFAC or 71-Rollover) is being charged. Note: If the charge is being paid for by a department and not your organization, the department responsible for the charge is required to place the reservation. If the reservation is placed by your organization, YOU WILL BE CHARGED, and not the department, even if you give the department’s account number

  43. Chapter 9 – Budgeting / Recordkeeping This chapter will focus on: • Budgeting Tools • SAFAC Files • Copies of Records • Web-Finance Access • Debts

  44. Budgeting/ Recordkeeping Chapter 9 Budgeting/ Recordkeeping Student organizations are responsible for keeping budgets for their expenses to ensure that debt does not occur. Budgeting Tools • Microsoft Excel • Microsoft Access This program offers a large variety of methods on tracking budgets without the expense of programs like Quicken. You can access sample budget tools from these programs on the SAFAC website under “Resources”. SAFAC Office Files As treasurer you are encouraged request your file from the SAFAC Office to compare everything that has been processed with your budget to make sure everything is in order financially. Everything processed by the SAFAC Office will be scanned and kept in an electronic file for each student organization.

  45. Budgeting/ Recordkeeping cont… Chapter 9 Budgeting/ Recordkeeping Copies of Records It is highly recommended that as treasurer, you make a photo copy of each request you submit to the SAFAC Office and of each request sent in for internal Drexel services. Copies of these documents will help to keep your budget on track without forgetting about items which were processed by your organization. Web-Finance Web-Finance is a very useful tool but only reports what items have hit your accounts. It does not reflect items that were submitted but may not have hit yet. This is why it is very important for an organization to maintain a budget record on its own separate from using Web- Finance. Web-Finance is available for student organizations to access directly if the Treasurer goes through Web-Finance training. Each student organization has a login name for Web-Finance. If you have misplaced your log-in please contact safac@drexel.edu to have it resent to you. If you need your password reset please contact safac@drexel.edu to request one.

  46. Budgeting/ Recordkeeping cont… Chapter 9 Budgeting/ Recordkeeping Debt Debt occurs when a student organization spends more than is available in their accounts. There are many reasons this may occur but the most common among student organizations is due to lack of record keeping. Many times student leaders forget about a purchase they submitted. Debt Suspension If a student organization goes into debt they are immediately placed on debt suspension. The organization will be notified and have 2 weeks to review their account details and contest any charges. After 2 weeks the organization will remain on permanent suspension until the debt is paid back in full. While on debt suspension, an organization cannot utilize Drexel services, reserve space, or hold an event under the groups name
