Steps to Travel

Travel Procurement

Steps for Funded Travel

  1. Request a TCard (if needed)
  2. Gather trip information and funding details
  3. Submit a Pre-Approval (PA) in Emburse, at least 1–2 weeks before travel
  4. Book travel arrangements after PA is fully processed
  5. Reconcile all pre-trip TCard purchases (e.g., airfare, registration) in Emburse within two weeks of card use - do not wait until trip is complete
  6. Travel and retain receipts
  7. Reconcile all TCard purchases incurred in travel status and submit reimbursement requests in Emburse within 2 weeks after travel ends

Steps for Unfunded Travel

If you are not using University funds and will not request reimbursement, then a Pre-Approval (PA) is not required.

  • Notify your Chair, Dean, or Supervisor of your business trip for workers' compensation purposes.

Steps for Canceled/Changed Travel

Email Travel Procurement immediately if your trip has changes and/or has been canceled.

Additional Steps for Canceled Trips:

  • Cancel purchases (e.g., airfare, registration) and when possible, request a refund
  • Cancel all other reservations (e.g., hotel, vehicle rental) and obtain cancelation numbers
