The College encourages employees who travel regularly to obtain a Purchasing Card to use for College-related travel, which can be arranged through the Manager of Procurement. In rare instances, an employee may need to request a cash advance, prior to the business-related travel. Such advances should be limited. An employee is expected to clear one cash advance before requesting a second one, except in the unusual case of back-to-back travel, where a form cannot be completed between trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the case where a cash advance cannot be avoided, a Cash Advance Request Form should be completed with as much information that can be provided including dates of your trip, the business purpose, individuals included in the trip or a description of the group. Also include an estimate of the expenses to be covered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Return the form signed and approved as needed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Provide supporting documentation for how the cash advance was used and\/or return any unused funds within 60 days<\/p>\n\n\n\n
