Please note that all attachments must be in .pdf format. - University Payables (UPAY) will process the transaction from the email.
- Once processed, the documents will be sent for imaging in BDM which takes approximately 48-72 hours.
- If required, the Banner transaction moves from UPAY to Grants & Contracts for approval.
- Once Grants & Contracts approve the transaction, the transaction will move to Approved status in Banner.
- When Grants & Contracts approval is not needed, the transaction will move to Approved status in Banner until the appropriate due date, when the payment will automatically be released.
