Travel and Expense Reimbursements

All travel reimbursements must be sent to Purchasing and Payables prior to payment. The Travel Expense Voucher (TEV) has a column called "Expenses Paid by University". It is used for those expenses paid in advance by the University, covered by a purchase order and/or expenses covered by a Purchasing Card. It also facilitates reporting total costs of out of state travel to our state legislators as required by law. Whenever possible, please do not put out of state and in state travel on the same Travel Expense Voucher (TEV).

Please review the travel tips and the Travel APL prior to your trip. The University does not pay for any personal travel. If you have a personal aspect to your trip please contact us prior to making any reservations.

If you have any questions about your travel please contact:
