If you haven't paid a vendor for services performed in 2012, please submit a Request for Payment Form to the Office of Business Operations/Accounts Payable, mail code 0008, no later than Dec. 21. The IRS requires the university to issue many vendors a 1099 for these payments. To do so accurately, we need to make these payments by the end of 2012. Please contact Brian Looby with questions.
"Inside UNI" will be unveiled in mid-January, replacing UNI Online and MyUNIverse News.
