Reimbursements should not be the usual way that a department obtains goods. Reimbursement of goods is limited to $5,000 and is further limited to commodities not covered by university price agreements. For questions about out-of-pocket expenses, or to make a purchase via CU Marketplace or with a university procurement card, contact the designated financial services team member (below) for your department. A personal payment for services, cash awards, gift cards or study subject payments cannot be reimbursed.
