  • At the department’s discretion.

How to use it?

The online form can be accessed by selecting the "Request Service" button. 

When estimating your travel expenses be sure to include all anticipated charges. You can submit a cumulative amount of your total estimated expenses so that your trip’s entire budget is being approved.

Cash advances should only be requested to cover out of pocket expenses that occurred while traveling. Requests for a cash advance must be submitted at least two weeks prior to your trip and will be paid up to 7 days before travel.

If traveling with students, use the Student Travel Matrix to determine if you need to submit a School Sponsored Overnight Travel Form with the Office of Compliance and Policy.  This is a requirement for Clery Act compliance.
