Summary Table of Allowable Expenses

Employees must comply with North Dakota Century Code, as well as, North Dakota University System (NDUS) and UND policies and procedures for their expenses to be reimbursed. Please review the laws and policies governing your travel/purchase prior to completing the transaction.

We encourage the use of a University purchasing card while traveling. Most travel expenses (excluding meals) may be charged on this University issued MasterCard allowing the payment of the expense to be made directly by the University.

The business purpose of all travel must be documented.

Travel Reimbursement FAQs

With a receipt or paid invoice, UND will reimburse business expenses for parking fees (not parking fines).

With a receipt or paid invoice, UND will reimburse business expenses for internet charges, rental cars, copies, faxes, shipping, and postage.

In addition, with written business justification, UND may reimburse for other business expenses such as mandatory bellman/maid charges, late check-out fees, business calls, cancellation charges; and international travel expenses such as currency exchange fees and immunizations. In very limited cases, UND will reimburse for travel insurance or GPS charges.

Please contact your UND Grants & Contracts Officer prior to booking any expenses for travel pertaining to a grant or contract sponsored trip. It is essential to confirm that the travel expenses will fall within the parameters of the grant or contract to insure payment or reimbursement of expenses.

If you do not have a receipt/invoice for a transaction, you will need to contact the vendor for a replacement receipt/invoice. If you are not able to get a replacement receipt/invoice, the missing receipt form will need to be completed.

(Note: UND will reimburse for a cab without a receipt costing $10.00 or less.)

Although discouraged, University of North Dakota may advance funds for the payment of meal and lodging expenses incurred while an employee is on business travel. All travel advances must be preapproved by Procurement & Payment Services.  To qualify for a travel advance:

  • Travel must be in excess of five days per month (does not need to be consecutive)
  • Requested funds cannot exceed 80 percent of estimated expenses

Submit travel advance request in writing (email) to Procurement & Payment Services. Request must include:

  • Travel dates
  • Business purpose of the travel
  • Estimated expenses
  • Explanation as to what other options other than a travel advance were considered
  • Supervisor’s signature/approval

If approved, Procurement & Payment Services will notify the department and process the advance through the electronic payment process.

WHEN TRAVEL IS COMPLETE:

  • The request for reimbursement of remaining expenses must be submitted via the Travel & Expense module in PeopleSoft Finance.  (All travel expenses for one trip can be submitted on the same expense report)
  • Please reference the Travel & Expense User Guide for instructions on entering an expense report
  • The Travel Advance voucher number must be documented on the expense report.
  • The business purpose of the travel must be documented.
  • Traveler must be the one to submit the expense report.  This electronic submittal is accepted as the signature of the traveler. 

Please contact PPS at und.pps@und.edu with further questions.

Yes! Once one expense line has been created, the option to change funding for the entire report is achieved by going to the “Actions” in the upper right corner of the report. Click the drop down arrow and select “Default Accounting for Report” and click “GO”.

Yes, Employees can assign their own delegates. One or more "Delegates" can be assigned to create an expense report for an individual, but the individual receiving the reimbursement will need to submit the report once it is completed. If additional assistance is needed to set up your own delegate, please contact PPS at und.pps@und.edu

Yes, Copied expense reports do not bring over the attached receipts.

Each expense line will show a Location for the expense. When entering travel expenses, the location will pull from the Default Location entered in the header at the top of the report, but can be updated as needed on the individual expense line(s). 

Please check that your popup blocker is not on and preventing the viewing of the receipts. 

Yes, the Expense Manager can update the funding chart fields of the expense report. If any changes are made to a funding source, a budget check will need to be run and the report will need to show a valid budget check before the Expense Manager can approve the report.

A valid budget check is required before the report can be approved. Check the status of the report in the upper left section of the header of the report. If the Budget Status says “Error”, the report funding needs to be corrected – contact your finance representative. If the Budget Status says “Not Budget Checked” then it will be budget checked in the next cycle (runs every 15 minutes). A manual budget check may be run by clicking Budget Options and selecting “Budget Check”.

Yes, you can assign your expense reports to another approver in your System Profile. 

Yes, the expense report can be edited. It can also be sent back with comments to clarify the changes to the report. The deny button should only be used to clear the Expense Report from the system.
