1. Incur expenses

Personal expenses incurred by an individual on behalf of the University must be in accordance with the guidelines set out in the Expenses and Benefits Guide.

If the claim is to be met from a research award, it is also important that the claim is in line with the funder's terms and conditions.

2. Obtain and collate receipts or supporting documentation

Receipts or supporting documentation should always normally be supplied with a claim. In exceptional circumstances, however, claims may be submitted without such documentation - section 4.2 of the Expenses and Benefits Guide provides further guidance.

This information is required to support the Expenses Claim Form (385kb)

3. Complete expenses claim form and submit for approval

You should complete an Expenses Claim Form (385kb) and forward it along with the receipts and where applicable, supporting documentation for approval to the departmental authorised signatory. Generally claims should be made within two months of the expenses being incurred.
