Travel & Expense Reimbursement
Purchasing and Accounts Payable receives and processes all college-related travel requests, including student travel, local mileage and meals, personal reimbursements, catering invoices, and registration fees for local conferences. Guest speakers and other non-employee related travel are also processed through this office.
A Spend Authorization for employees, faculty and staff requesting overnight travel must be fully completed and approved in Workday before making any purchases related to travel. The Spend Authorization should be completed for any type of travel, whether it be overnight or local.
When requesting the Travel Office to book a flight, it is critical that the name on the Spend Authorization is the same name that is on the driver’s license or passport. The TSA requires that your ID matches the name on your ticket prior to boarding a flight. Please attach all documentation on your Spend Authorization, including registration forms and conference agenda.
Upon return of approved travel, please complete an Expense Report in Workday. Make sure to retain all receipts (except for meals) during your travel as they are required to complete the Expense Report.
