The THDN Payment Request Form can be used to request payment for:

• Independent guest artists not currently associated with CU who are working as individuals under their social security number.
• Independent guest artists not currently associated with CU who are functioning as a business using a business tax ID number.
• Current CU employees who are working on a project outside of their normal work responsibilities. (This includes student employees.) 
• Â鶹ÒùÔº who are not currently employees – both graduate and undergraduates 
• If you are working with a business that requires a PO or check for payment on an invoice, you may be able to use this form for that request. Please check with thdnbusiness@colorado.edu for more information.

Step 1: Confirm your funding.

Please do not proceed to fill out the form until your funding is fully approved and you have been provided a speedtype number. A speedtype is the account from which your guest will be paid. You should request this number from the person or entity that approved your funding.

Step 2: Contact your guest to receive needed information.

• Full Legal Name (must be provided for proper payment) 
• Preferred Name (optional)
• Preferred Email Address
• Current Mailing Address
  • (Please ALWAYS request a current address from your guest and complete this information in the request form every time, even if the guest has worked with us before.)
• Phone number
• Is this payment for a current employee of CU? (this includes student employees)
• If not currently, have they been an employee of CU in the past 12 months?
• Has this person previously been paid by CU as a guest artist?
  • If your guest is not a current employee and has not previously been paid by CU as a guest artist, they will need to register as a supplier in the CU Marketplace system. Your guest will receive an email with an invitation to join as a supplier/vendor. Please advise them to respond to this invitation and provide the information ASAP to avoid payment delays. Payment cannot be requested until this process is fully completed. If your guest does not follow this step to register as a supplier, they are ineligible to receive payment through the University and will not receive payment.
• Will your guest receive payment as an individual (meaning they are operating under their social security number), or will they be receiving payment as a business (meaning they are operating with a tax ID number)?
• Is your guest a US Citizen, Permanent Resident, or Foreign National?
• If your guest is a Foreign National, what is their visa status? (ie. F1,J1, J1 scholar, etc.)
  • Please note requests for payments to international citizens will have additional requirements for processing and will take longer for payment completion. Please check in with thdnbusiness@colorado.edu at least 8 weeks in advance if you anticipate requesting an international payment.

For non-employee guests, we’ll also need two more pieces of information from you:

• Do you plan to use university funds to pay for anything beyond a direct payment to the guest? (any travel related costs, meals, supplies, etc.)
• Why has this guest been selected?
  • Please provide 1-3 sentences describing their related experience or unique qualifications for the role.
  • Please note a resume and/or invoice may be required for non-employee guests.

Step 3: You’re ready to fill out the THDN Payment Request Form! ()

• Once you submit your request, there are multiple steps that must be completed through the university financial systems. THDN staff will work to verify all information, determine proper payment type, request supplier invitations as needed, and initiate document routing. After we complete our part in THDN, there are at least two more financial offices that must review and approve the request before payment is processed. Please be patient. If your guest has not received payment within four weeks of the payment request or time of services, feel free to contact thdnbusiness@colorado.edu.
