Travel Alert

- All out-of-state travel funded by GPR and/or tuition must be approved by the Chancellor or his designees.Designees are
- Provost Julie Furst-Bowe for Academic and Student Affairs
- Vice Chancellor Diane Moen for Administrative and Student Life Services
- The Chancellor will approve travel for all others not in these two divisions.
- Although travel to Chicago and Minneapolis/St. Paul are the same as in-state travel, please have the Division Administrator sign these as well. This will help the campus community in administering the rules.
It is critical that we be judicious in the number of employees authorized to travel to an event and the magnitude of individual travel authorized. This continues to be an area scrutinized by state government as state spending becomes more constrained.
Only GPR and Tuition accounts are restricted by the above guidelines. These include accounts starting with 102, 104, 105, 115, 118, 131, 189, and 402.
Procedures:
- An Out-of-state T ravel Approval Form must be attached to the standard Travel Authoriation form and routed for signatures.
- No travel arrangements should be made before the approval and authorization process is complete.
- Any previously approved travel for after December 1, 2008 must be re-approved under these guidelines.
