Berkeley Regional Services (BRS) provides support to the UC Berkeley campus withPurchasing (Procurement) services as well as assistance with Travel and Entertainment (T&E) and non-T&EReimbursements.
The Direct Enter process via the Online Travel & Reimbursement System(link is external) was introduced by the Controller’s Office(link is external) and must be used by staff, student employees, and faculty to directly enter all travel reimbursement requests and non-travel related expense reimbursements at: https://reimburse.berkeley.edu(link is external) (versus filling out T&E forms and submitting in BearBUY).
Visitors, vendors, and students who are not employees should follow the instructions under reimbursements information.
Divisional Finance Leaders (DFLs) can offer additional support and guidance regarding using Direct Enter for reimbursements as well as the Controller's Office. The list of DFLs are listed here: https://cfo.berkeley.edu/divisional-finance-leaders#dfl(link is external). The Direct Enter process provides a much faster turnaround time and offers online visibility into the status of your reimbursement.
