Membership renewals previously paid by the UW are allowable for payment/reimbursement; however the initial payment of a membership (i.e. a membership not previously paid for by the UW for any employee) must be processed for payment by the SoHE Business Office on a requisition with UW Purchasing Services or a Direct Payment Form to allow for appropriate approvals. If you are unsure whether a membership is allowable per the above, please check with the SoHE Business Office prior to purchasing. See Business Office Contacts

Individual memberships are not allowable on GPR (Fund 101) funding unless a justification is provided as to how the membership benefits the school and students.
