Check Requests

Printer-friendly versionSend to friend

All DSC funds (with the exception of Travel & Research, which is administered by Student Affairs) must be requested as reimbursement through check requests.

If your event/project is receiving funds from multiple sources, more information is available here.

  • Separate requests should be filed for each payee. Any individual or organization may be the payee on a check request. For individuals, a Banner ID or Social Security Number must be included on the request; for organization, please provide an FEIN (where applicable).
  • Only authorized students may sign check requests to the DSC. This includes program representatives, Chartered Organization leaders, and grant recipients. All requests made by faculty and administrators will be denied.
  • Original receipts must be submitted to the DSC with every request. All receipts must be in English and must equal or exceed the amount requested.
  • Receipts cannot be used more than once and cannot be split across separate check requests, so students should plan purchases carefully.
  • If you require reimbursement for petty cash or honoraria please submit the appropriate form and include the amount in your total request.
  • If you require reimbursement for services rendered, please attach an invoice stating the name, address, and SSN/FEIN of the provider, days/duration of service, service(s) provided, hourly rate (if applicable), and the total cost and include the amount in your total request.
  • Requests can take up to 10–14 days to process.
  • If you have any questions about check requests, please contact the Co-Chair for Business.

Check requests may be submitted electronically or in paper format.


Submit an online request


Students are encouraged to submit check requests online, which will allow status tracking of each request and automatically send confirmation emails when requests are received and completed. To submit an online request

  1. Login or register for an account using your full name and Banner ID. This will be used as a digital signature under the terms of Bylaw #17. If you have already created an account but can't remember your login information, you can request a new password.
  2. Once you are logged in, you will see a "Submit a request" menu area appear on the top left, which you can use to create a new Check Request.
  3. Submit receipts to Room 5495. You will receive an email with a form for submitting these receipts once you submit your request. You may also paste receipts to a plain sheet of letter-sized paper.

Submit a paper request

Alternatively, students may download a Check Request Form and submit it to Room 5495 with original receipts pasted to a plain sheet of letter-sized paper.
