This is a reminder that if you plan on distributing gift cards you must follow University policies and processes.
The purchase of gift cards must be reviewed and approved in advance by the respective campus controller’s (finance) office. To request approval:
- Complete the Gift Card Authorization Request (GC) form.
- Attach additional documentation, if required according to the relevant procedures, e.g., Study Subject Payments or Recognition and Training.)
- Submit to the appropriate campus controller’s (finance) office.
Upon approval, gift cards may be purchased using the University Procurement Card or a purchase order in the CU Marketplace.
Please email sehdfinance@cu.edu if you plan on distributing gift cards to ensure that they are allowable to avoid having to take these expenses as personal expenses.
