Pay Cycle Schedule
The UTEP Disbursement and Travel Services office runs two regularly scheduled pay cycles.
- The Accounts Payable pay cycle for vendor payments and reimbursements is run every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday only.
- The Student Refund (SR) pay cycle is run Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays with an adjusted schedule at the beginning of each semester/term. During this adjustment period, SR pay cycles are run daily beginning with Student Business Services' "Disbursement Date" for each semester and continue on a daily basis (MTWRF) through census day.
When a regularly scheduled pay cycle falls on a US Bank holiday, the pay cycle is cancelled. The pay cycle immediately prior to the holiday will serve as the alternate pay cycle and will include payment for all fully approved vouchers with scheduled pay dates through the holiday. Below is the list of regularly scheduled pay cycles in calendar year 2026 which fall on a US Bank holiday or a UTEP holiday along with the prior/alternate pay cycle. We kindly request that colleges and departments coordinate internal voucher and expense report processing/approval to allow our office sufficient time to review, approve and process timely payments.
