Travel Preapproval Request

Travelers who have not requested preapproval for travel in Concur must attach a copy of the completed, signed travel preapproval form to their submitted expense report for reimbursement.

  • The university's travel policy requires faculty and staff who are traveling on an overnight trip to seek preapproval to travel from their supervisor. The previous paper form is now an electronic preapproval request that can only be submitted through Concur.
  • If a request has not been submitted, you must attach a copy of the completed signed travel preapproval form to your submitted expense report for reimbursement.
