To meet deadlines, process invoices, reimbursements, and PO’s/BPO’s you currently have two options:

Submit by intercampus mail through the mailroom

OR

Send your Documents Electronically

Accounts Payable will accept scanned copies of receipts with DocuSign budget approval. The budget authority should scan the requests to accountspayable@pacificu.edu. Please ensure that the packet is complete and legible. Do not overlap receipts— the full receipt/invoice must be viewable for auditing.

Please note: A live signature is required on reimbursement requests when the payee has direct deposit. Payroll and Accounts Payable direct deposits are separate systems.

Deliver Requests to the Mail Room

Mail Services is located in the UC on the lower level. There is a mail slot to the left of the main entrance to the mail room.
