CIT Implementation

Overview

University policy allows for payment of institutional memberships that are associated with university positions or operating units. Some association s may require that Cornell's membership carry individual name or names for contact purposes; this is not in violation of Cornell's policy. However, individual associations membership fees, dues or licenses that are not directly related to the individual's position are not allowed.

Process/Procedures

University policy stipulates that payment for allowable institutional memberships should be made by the university directly to the association and not paid by individuals who later request reimbursement.
