General News
Fiscal Year End Deadlines
- All FY2026 expense reports, including p-card reconciliations, must be submitted by 5pm on Monday, June 1. This applies to expenses charged to sponsored and non-sponsored funds and allows sufficient time for review and approval of expenses posted to FY26.
- After June 1 @ 5pm, please continue submitting expense reports. While Campus will make every effort to process expenses reports in FY26, they cannot guarantee they will be processed and posted into FY26. By continuing to submit expense reports, this helps ensure you are reimbursed as soon as possible for any reimbursements.
Expense Report Resources
New Tips & Tricks Guide
Campus has developed a tips & tricks guide addressing the most common reasons expense reports are returned. The goal is to have expense reports audit-ready, reduce expense reports returns, and faster approvals. Please note you may need to sign into your UW account to view it.
