POLICY & PROCEDURES
FOR STUDENT ACTIVITY ADVANCES
Travel related expenses for athletics and other types of student activities require
itemization and support by receipts attached to the claim. Fund advances for student
activities (travel, entry fees, officials, etc.) may be obtained by following the Business
Office Policy and Procedures. Checks will be computer generated, therefore, it is very
important that you allow at least five working days for your information to be processed
and a check prepared for entry fees, travel officials, etc.
THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT WAS DEVELOPED FOR THOSE FUNDS
ORIGINATING IN THE AGENCY SPECIAL ACCOUNT FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE
OF SUPPORTING STUDENT ACTIVITIES.
“Coaches and Sponsors of Student Organizations can have their meals and lodging
included in the travel requisition and subsequent payment of same when in official travel
status with their respective teams. This will eliminate the need for these individuals to
file for reimbursement of lodging and meals.”
The following prescribes procedures for the advance of funds, and settlement thereof, for
student travel, events, and other activities. In order to qualify for an advance, the State of
Oklahoma requires that the activity include students. (Fund advances for E&G travel and
activities are not authorized.)
a. Funding Source: The “Activity Advance Account” is established in the auxiliary
general ledger and serves as a controlling mechanism for recording these
advances.
b. Obtaining Advances: Requesters of fund advances must submit an “Activity
Advance” (Form #1) to the Personnel Office at least five (5) working days prior to
the time funds are needed. This lead-time is necessary to process the information,
prepare the check, and enable the requester to cash the check at a local bank.
(The Business Office change fund is not sufficiently large enough to cash advance
checks. Additionally, it is unlikely that specific currency and/or coin
requirements could be readily met from the limited resources of the change fund.)
c. Requester signs Activity Advance Acknowledgement (Form #2) when picking up
the check from the Personnel Office.
d. Food Receipts: The College will require machine-printed receipts, when
available, that provide detail of food orders rather than accept handwritten
