The Office of the Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and Comptroller announces an open comment period for policy 12.5.2 Expensed Lease or Housing Stipend for a Non-University Owned Residence or Apartment from August 23, 2024 until September 6, 2024. The policy has been updated to remove the requirement for submitting a lease for a Long Term Residence Stipend (more than one year). The university retains the right to ask for one, but it is no longer an advance requirement to create a stipend.
The lease requirement is still in place for Short Term Residence Expense Reimbursement (one year or less).
