Options for Assistance (after approval)

Students who receive confirmation that they are eligible for their requested assistance have the following options:

  • Send links/information of the needed items to the OSE to be purchased on behalf of the student

                                                                              OR

  • Purchase items and submit receipts to OSE for reimbursement.  (students should not purchase any items until they have received confirmation of their approval for assistance)
    • Once approved for assistance, students who opt to purchase items on their own are required to obtain detailed receipts for all purchases in order to be reimbursed. 

 

Submitting Correct Receipts for Reimbursement

Submitting the appropriate documents for reimbursement helps to ensure students receive their reimbursement in a timely matter. When obtaining receipts, confirm that the document you receive from the vendor includes the following information:

    • Name of Vendor
    • Date of Transaction
    • Amount of Transaction
    • Location of Transaction (City, State)
    • How item(s) were paid for (card, cash, etc...)
    • How many nights of stay (Hotel Specific)
    • Flight Itinerary (Flights Specific) – Should include dates of departing and/or returning flights

To ensure the submission of the right documents for reimbursement, access the OSE Receipt Submission Guide for examples.
