Expense Reimbursements
Overview
There are three different types of expenditures students might incur:
- Student Job Expenses – If the expenses to be reimbursed pertain directly to a student’s job that they are being paid for, then the student should submit reimbursement using Create Expense Report in Workday.
- Student Educational Expenses – If the expenses to be reimbursed are for a student’s educational benefit (i.e. travel to conferences, supplies used for classes, etc), they should be submitted on a Student Disbursement form.
- Student Org Expenses – If the expenses are related to a student organization please visit sofo.wfu.edu
