more.
Purchasing
If you need to buy something, use our online PrePurchasing site.
Log in using your UCD (Kerberos) ID, complete the form, add any
URLs, then press “submit.” You will need to include the account
being charged.
The form will route to our staff, who will order the items you
request, or contact you if more information is needed. Marisa Kline is the primary
person responsible for purchasing. Contact her if you need to
follow up on an order.
Reimbursements
To request reimbursement for supplies purchased, please use
this form. Complete the information and print it out, then
submit to Thomas
Dean along with your itemized receipt. Note that
reimbursements cannot exceed $499.
Travel & Entertainment
Please see MyTravel for
information about reimbursement of travel or entertainment
expenses. We have related forms available here. To
submit receipts by email, see these
instructions. Contact Daniel Cordova with any
travel-related questions.
Need help setting up your travel delegates? It’s a good idea
to designate Daniel
Cordova, Heather Bosworth, Kali Sullivan, and Marisa Kline as
your delegates at MyTravel/Connexus to
make sure they will be able to process your travel reports. They
will be able to troubleshoot if there are problems. (See the
“Create a Delegate” tutorial there for details.)
Interested in getting a corporate card to use for your travel and
entertainment expenses? This card lets you avoid paying out of
pocket. Get Information and apply for the U.S. VISA corporate card.
Check pick-up
Need to pick up your check? See Daniel Cordova in the
Business Office. Remember that the quickest way to receive your
payments is to set up direct deposit for both reimbursement and
payroll checks. This is easily done by using the UC
Davis online Direct Deposit
Service.
Hiring students, posting jobs
Want to hire an undergraduate student? If you are hiring a
student who has work study, use our new Work Study
Hire form to speed up the process. We have a similar form to
use for non-work
study hiring; both forms are completed online and route to
the payroll staff when submitted.
Contact the
Payroll Coordinators with your questions about hiring an
undergraduate. For new positions, you will need to provide a job
description and required qualifications, along with your
preferred hourly rate. We are required to post a vacancy listing
for each position, which the payroll coordinator will do. All
students must be hired through this process before they start
working (UCD policy).
Want to hire a graduate student on your research account? Please
contact the
Graduate Advisers.
Want to hire a Reader for one of your courses? After getting your
chair’s or director’s approval (including the number of hours
authorized), contact the Graduate
Advisers and they will process the appointment.
If you are applying for an extramural grant or gift, please talk
to Kali Sullivan,
TAAG Finance Manager. It is best to talk to the Nancy before
you apply, so she can help you with the process and can ensure
that policies are followed regarding outside funding.
