Depending on the purpose of the check, you'll need to attach different forms.

If you're visual, click here for guidance in routing the check.

1. Gift deposits, both new and additions: use the Gift Routing Form.

2. Clinical trial checks: first checks require routing with the WISPER record attached. Additions to existing accounts require a print of the Award Summary page attached to the check. Route to your dean/division office.

3. New sponsored project awards with no WISPER record: create the WISPER record, print it and send to your dean/division office with the check.

4. Budget increases to existing award. If the budget increase was included in the original WISPER application but this is incremental funding, print the existing WISPER record. If the budget increase was not anticipated and included in the original WISPER record: create a WISPER supplement, print the WISPER form and send to your dean/division office with the check.

5. Payments to existing awards with no budget change needed: Print the Award Summary page, attach the check and send both to dean/division.

6. Additions to fee-for-service accounts should continue to be sent to Accounting Services with a deposit form.
