Financial Procedures

Reimbursements

Individuals who make purchases using their own funds may be eligible for reimbursement for expenses already approved by the BFC (expenses not approved by the BFC will not be reimbursed). To receive a reimbursement check (which typically takes 2 - 3 weeks to process and is mailed to the student’s P.O. box), original receipts must be submitted along with a completed budget transaction form. It is the responsibility of the individual to clarify that the purchase is tax exempt on behalf of Kenyon, even if using their own personal funds. Contact the Office of Student Engagement for further clarification.

Note: Students are encouraged to utilize our other methods of payment as an alternative to spending personal funds and awaiting reimbursement.

If a receipt is lost, it is the responsibility of the person who checked out the card to contact the store to request a copy of the receipt.
