Seminar and Symposium Funds (Memo from the Dean )
Request Form for Graduate Program Enrichment Funds
There are specific business procedures required by Accounts Payable to make payments to visiting speakers. All visiting speakers are viewed as independent contractors and payments to them are governed by UK Business Procedures E-7-3, pp. 1-3.
A Departmental Authorization and Voucher (DAV) must be accompanied by a completed and signed copy of the "University of Kentucky Agreement Between Independent Contractor and Client" and a completed W-9 "Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification" IRS Form.
Procedures for payments to "non-resident alien contractors" are somewhat different from the above. Should you need to make a seminar payment to a person who is not a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident, refer to UK Business Procedures E-7-7.
After completing all necessary payment and travel forms, attach supporting documentation, make two copies of everything (one for you to keep and one for Graduate School business office files), then forward them for addition of an account number and signature approval to:
Fiscal and Administrative Affairs
The Graduate School
4 Gillis Building
Campus 0033
If you have any questions, contact the Fiscal Affairs Officer at 257-4121.
