To help build our brand recognition, it is recommended that events and materials utilize our departmental branding.

Every year the Department of Psychology hosts a colloquium series and other events.  With every presenter, we request that they allow us to record the presentation for individuals that are not able to attend. We post the links to the captioned recordings on this webpage.

The Department links to the profiles of each of our graduate students, faculty, and staff (if applicable) on the departmental website. As one of the best programs in the nation, our site receives a lot of traffic. Your profile will be as good as you make it!

Reimbursements are mainly used for travel purposes. Reimbursements should only be used for supplies and services in the case of emergencies or when all other purchasing methods should be exhausted first.

General Information

Using reimbursement to purchase office or lab supplies or services is the least preferred method of purchasing. These purchases should only be made as a last resort. For more purchasing options, see Purchasing.

Common non-travel reimbursements include charges related to:

• Candidate and Recuitment Visits
• Guest Speakers and Visiting Scholars
• Hospitality and Business Meetings

The University has credit cards available for staff and faculty to use for regular business purposes.

The focus of this page is the finance side of appointments.  If there are any Human Resource (HR) specific questions, please contact our Chief of Staff, Holley Locher (loche007@umn.edu).

This page outlines the appropriate and approved methods of paying human research participants. Please ensure that IRB approval is secured in advance of any research.
