The unit/department should follow UGA’s policy for Moving and Relocation and seek state funding first. All moving and relocation expenses must first be authorized by the UGA Compliance Office regardless of the funding source. Foundation funds may be utilized for payment of approved expenses processed through UGA systems but funded by the Foundation.
The Foundation may pay for moving and relocation expenses as a direct reimbursement or vendor payment under the following exceptions provided a check request and all appropriate documentation is submitted and approved.
- Expenses that exceed the offer letter limit per UGA policy
- Expenses for employees of less than one year (i.e. visiting professors)
For these expenses, an approved check request with all appropriate documentation must be submitted to the Foundation’s Expenditure Control Department.
