How do I process "Non-Rice Individual/Visitor" reimbursements? 

Reimbursements for non-rice individuals or visitors should be processed as a Non-Standard Disbursement. 

How is the conversion rate determined when paying in foreign currency? 

The rate is calculated at the time the Treasurer's Office purchases the currency.  This is also a two day process for sending foreign currency by wire transfer. The Treasury Office purchases the foreign currency first and then the wire is sent the next day. The Treasurer's Office will confirm the USD amount after the wire has been sent. 

Invoices must be sent to payment@rice.edu. This email will only be used for invoice processing.
For assistance with Payment Status, email paymentinquiries@rice.edu.
All other inquiries should be submitted as an iO Service Request.
