Oakland University’s Accounts Payable Department assists other OU departments in making payments to vendors and reimbursing employees. The Accounts Payable office is located at 121 West Vandenberg Hall, next to the Payroll office. The Accounting office is also located in our suite.

Students requiring information on their student accounts (payments, holds, etc.) should contact Student Business Services at (248) 370-2550 or [email protected].

Accounts Payable responsibilities include:

• Managing the university purchasing card program;
• Processing all university payment vouchers in accordance with university policies and procedures;
• Responding to OU department inquiries about payment issues;
• Reporting total calendar year payments to the IRS for applicable vendors

Until further notice payment runs will be reduced to only once a week with checks on Friday’s.

Vendor Invoicing Instructions
As noted in OU's PO Terms and Conditions, invoices are to be sent directly to the department they are selling items to or servicing, not to Accounts Payable. These directions apply to all vendor invoices both PO and non-PO related.
