Please allow 2 business days for full access. Please note: You will not  receive an email. You should be able to log-in using your Mason credentials 2-busness days after completing the training in MasonLEAPS. 

Former Employee/Student and Non-Employee (Students and Guests) Reimbursements: All reimbursable expenses should be submitted and approved through the Mason Finance Gateway (MFG) prior to an employee’s final day of employment or prior to a student’s graduation and/or period of non-enrollment at Mason. 

If requests were not submitted prior to separation then former employee/student, and guests submit the Vendor Maintenance Form located here, on the “Do Business with Mason” page to create or reactivate their G# to a “non-employee” status in Banner and MFG.

Students, guests, former employees/students seeking reimbursements must coordinate with their department to process any outstanding requests, on their behalf.
