Â
Q: Where do I send the invoice electronically?
A: Please email ap@ccsu.edu with the invoice attached as a PDF file and the vendor name and invoice number in the subject and body of the email.
Â
Q: How can our department ensure the student or vendor is paid for services, honorarium, or a stipend?
A: Please complete the Disbursement form located on the Accounts Payable Forms website if the amount is under $3,000.00. Anything over $3,000.00 needs a PSA. In addition to the disbursement form, we need a current W-9 from the payee if one hasn’t already been submitted and is on file, as well as a direct deposit form if the student or vendor wished to be paid via ACH.
Â
Q: Why do I need a W-9:
A: The IRS requires us to report certain payments using the payee’s SSN or EIN and full name associated with the Tax ID. The Tax ID and name must match the IRS records, otherwise we are required to perform backup withholding at a flat 24% rate. The IRS W-9 can be found on the IRS.gov website, or on our own Accounts Payable Forms website. The IRS W-9 form is also required for setup of a vendor in the university’s finance system, where, for example, it would facilitate the Connecticut Department of Revenue Service’s tax reporting requirements for certain payments to athletes and entertainers, those vendors participating in the Small and Minority Business Enterprise set aside program, as well as vendors that owe state taxes.
Â
Q: As a department approver, how do I access my departments invoices for review and approval?
A: When the vendor sends the invoice to Accounts Payable either as a hardcopy in the mail, a fax, or preferably as an attached PDF file in an email, Accounts Payable will then scan that invoice into ImageNow document imaging system. The non-licensed version, called WebNow, is available for those who wish to review, approve, or forward the invoice to the Accounts Payable Queue at an off-campus location. To request access to ImageNow and WebNow for a department employee, please do so through the ImageNow/WebNow Account Request Form and log in with your BlueNet User Name and Password. You will need to select the department for which you would be accessing and approving invoices for and the type of WebNow access you need.

A: Please complete and sign the Direct Deposit and ACH enrollment Form and either email to ap@ccsu.edu or fax to 860.832.2522 to the Attention of the ACH/Direct Deposit Unit, CCSU Fiscal Affairs. Please note, the National Automated Clearing House (NACHA) strongly advises all new enrolments undergo a prenote test for validating enrollee’s routing and account number, which will take up to six business days, according to our bank. Please plan accordingly, as any invoice paid before the prenote test has successfully concluded will result in a check being printed and mailed.
