Updates to FSM Policy 14.10

Financial Services Manual Policy 14.10 Travel Authorization has been updated to align with the new Travel System and Booking Tool recently introduced to campus.

These changes include minor updates to the Policy section and updated Frequently Asked Questions based on feedback received from the launch of the new Travel System, such as:

  • In-state, same-day travel with no lodging costs does not require a Travel Authorization Request unless specifically required by the department.
  • Frequent or impromptu in-state travel including lodging costs regardless of funding source may submit a Blanket Travel Authorization in the new Travel System. Travel dates should indicate the fiscal year and travel activities with the same business purpose and location(s) clearly identified.

We strongly recommend individuals traveling on University business and those who assist in coordinating travel to review these changes, along with the updated Travel section of the Financial Services website and the new Travel System Training in EDGE Learning.
