  • Expenses incurred during the day/s of travel will need to be submitted no later than 30 days following the end of conference/trip.
  • If you are unable to provide your staff delegate with the actual receipts/invoices, a screenshot of the receipt is acceptable.
  • This rule also applies to non-UCSF employees who submit reimbursements through MyExpense.
  • To avoid delays, please make sure you provide your delegate with all needed information according to University guidelines (block out sensitive information such as entire credit card numbers, signature paired with home address, and other purchases on cc statement not related to reimbursement). Please also show proof of payment if the invoice/receipt does not indicate payment was made, fill out missing receipt/certification forms, provide list of attendees for reimbursements related to food/beverage, and add comments for expenses that are not straightforward.
