Petty Cash Information

General Information

The Business Office maintains a small petty cash fund to be used as reimbursement for small purchases of emergency supplies, postage and parking. Please check with the Business Office before making purchases which require petty cash reimbursements. An original vendor receipt is needed for every reimbursement along with a petty cash receipt. (See Below.)

Petty Cash Receipt

On-site Petty Cash Reimbursements

After approval is obtained from the Business Office for your purchase, please return the original sales receipt from the vendor to us here in the office. Please note somewhere on the receipt who made the purchase, why it was needed and the account to be charged.

Small amounts under $15.00 are generally cashed from the Business Office petty cash fund on-site and can be given to you directly with a vendor receipt.
