Past due (or delinquent) account balances are the responsibility of the student and will be pursued to the fullest extent. Â As a state University there is no statute of limitations on what is owed to Lake Superior State University. Â A hold will be placed on a student’s account for any past due balances preventing the student from: registering for classes, receiving a transcript or a diploma.
Please contact LSSU as soon as possible to make arrangements for your past due balance:

All University travelers seeking reimbursement should incur the lowest reasonable travel expense and should exercise care to avoid impropriety or the appearance of impropriety, including the public perception that a business trip has been taken for personal reasons. If a circumstance arises that is not specifically covered, either the most conservative course within the “spirit” of the travel regulations shall be adopted or consultation for guidance with the Vice President for Finance and Operations should be pursued.
2024 Mileage Reimbursement
The mileage reimbursement has increased from 65.5 cents to 67 cents per mile effective January 1, 2024.
When submitting an employee travel expense voucher, receipts are required for all expenses (except per-diem and bridge toll).  Receipts smaller than 8.5″ x 11.0″ should be affixed with tape to one or more sheets of letter-size paper and attached to the employee travel reimbursement voucher.  All receipts should be identified and organized in such a manner that they can be readily reconciled with the expenses listed on the accompanying voucher.
