The finance team assists faculty and staff with reimbursements for expenses related to UC business that they have paid for with personal money. UC Berkeley uses this website to process reimbursements (instructions here).

For all reimbursements you will need to:

• Submit original, itemized receipts that show a payment method.
• Submit expense reports timely (within 45 days) and respond promptly to requests for details and documentation.

• Know the funding chartstring.

• A chartstring is used to charge the expense to a specific fund. For Faculty, please see your PI Portfolio or ask the Finance Team or Director of Administration for chartstring assistance. For a tutorial on PI Portfolio see https://controller.berkeley.edu/submitting-reimbursement-travel-expenses-domestic-trip-single-destination
