Disbursement Requests

Employee Reimbursements

If you purchase items for the college, you may be reimbursed for the expenses, provided all necessary conditions are met. Before purchasing items, be sure to consult your supervisor for approval. In order to receive reimbursement for expenses incurred, complete a Disbursement Request Form. Original, itemized receipts with proof of payment are required. It is the employee's responsibility to request an itemized receipt, with proof of payment, from the vendor if it is not initially provided. Be mindful of vendors that do not provide itemized receipts with proof of payment and consider purchasing from vendors that do provide this.

Direct-Paying Vendors

Vendors may be paid directly via a Disbursement Request Form. Backup documentation, such as an invoice or similar document, must be included with the request. These requests will be reviewed by the Business Office, but most payments will be processed by the District Accounts Payable Office.*

*ASB and Co-Curricular funded requests are paid through the LPC Business Office.
