After Purchase
University Property
All equipment purchases made by an individual club, from University accounts, become the property of the Recreational Sports/University of Texas. Clubs do not have the authority to sell or dispose of University equipment/property. Any unsafe, outdated or unusable equipment must be turned in to the SC Office. All equipment must be marked so as to identify it as University property. Marking should include UTSCA or UT and Club name followed by a name and year of purchase, (i.e., Soccer Balls: UT-Men's Soccer #1-14).
Receipts
Receipts should be turned in within 72 hours of the transaction(s). Beginning in 23-24 receipts can be directly uploaded to the Purchase Request in Internal Services. If there are issues Please upload the receipt(s) to our SPORT CLUB RECEIPT UPLOAD web link. Ensure that ALL of the following information is either written on the receipt or in the name of the file.
Club Name
Vendor
Travel/Trip ID & date(s) (if applicable)
- If there are issues with attaching the receipt to a Purchase Request, receipts can be placed in our SPORT CLUB RECEIPT UPLOAD Box link or emailed to utrs.sportclubs@austin.utexas.edu.
- Failure to do so will prompt the Sport Club Staff to freeze your account and your club will not be able to use the same payment method until a receipt is turned in. All receipts must be itemized and must show zero balance or paid status
- If you’re not sure if it’s itemized ask yourself, “Can I tell what we bought just by looking at the receipt?” If the answer is no, you’ll need to get a different receipt or attach an invoice.
Missing Receipt Protocol
If your club cannot produce a receipt within 72 hours of purchase, you will be contacted by Sport Club Staff and will be required to attend an in-person Locating Receipts meeting.
The Locating Receipts meeting will be your opportunity to contact the vendor or take other necessary steps to obtain the missing receipt.
Purchasing Restrictions may be placed on the club until a receipt is produced and/or you're cleared by the Sport Club professional staff.
Repeated issues with receipts may result in a disciplinary infraction.
