This job aid details how vendors can register as a Columbia vendor via PaymentWorks.
If you are not yet a Columbia University vendor, you must be invited by a Columbia University employee to register as a new vendor via PaymentWorks.
If you established a vendor relationship with Columbia prior to the implementation of the PaymentWorks system, you do not need to register via PaymentWorks. However, if you need to update your vendor information and you are not already connected with Columbia via PaymentWorks, you must complete the PaymentWorks onboarding process.
