An Cash Advance (formerly known as an Accountable Advance) is a cash payment to an individual to cover future expenditures after all other University payment options have been examined.

Cash advances are issued only under the approval of a Principal, Dean, Director or Chair and must be recorded against a University employee number.

Cash advances are generally only to be used when cash payments/distributions are necessary, such as travel or subject payments. Only in rare situations where no other payment options are available can an cash advance be used for non-travel expenditures.

Cash Advance are are produced twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Fridays.
