Payment of Consultants
The University often finds it necessary to employee consultants to provide additional services. To process a consultant payment the user department should:
- Submit a purchase & payment request and completed consultant form to Purchasing Services
- Indicate on the check request the account to be charged. The appropriate object code is 751103
- Obtain approval signatures from department head and dean or vice president, if necessary
