The university reimburses faculty, staff and students for approved
travel and business expenses when incurred while conducting university
business. Non-university employees may be reimbursed for certain
expenses related to appropriate university business.
Travel advances are available to university faculty, staff and
students when necessary for cash expenditures that cannot be covered
by other means. Travel advances are not available to non-employees.
Travel advances should be accounted for within two weeks of return
of trip.
Individuals traveling on university business are expected to
exercise the same care in incurring expenses as a prudent person
traveling for personal reasons.
