Travel Guidelines

Official travel is defined as movement on official business of the University from one's home or normal place of employment to another destination, and return from there either to one's normal place of employment or to one's home.

Travel authorization forms remain within the individual's home department, and should be retained until the filing process of the travel expense report is complete.

Commercial air travel expense is reimbursed on the basis of actual cost incurred by the traveler using normally traveled routes. Travelers should select the type and class of services available to accomplish the travel at the most economical rate. First-class travel will be reimbursed only in extenuating circumstances and should be approved in advance by the traveler's Executive Director, Dean, Vice Chancellor, or Provost.
