2025-2026 Deadlines

Travel PD Guidelines

• All travel requests must be approved in Concur before travel begins.
• Attach all funding approval forms with your Concur request(s).
• Registration fees (courses/conferences) should be paid by your department admin staff using a ProCard. If not, reimbursement will be delayed until after the event.
• Airfare, hotels, and rental cars should be booked through Concur when possible.
  • Airfare booked outside Concur will require out-of-pocket payment.
• Hotels should be booked in Concur unless a conference rate is more cost-effective.
• Expense reports must be submitted in Concur within 60 days of returning.

Non-Travel PD Guidelines

• Awarding of money does not mean you have university approval for purchasing items. All purchases must follow university policies and procedures. Consult with your department admin staff before making any purchases. They will help you with the purchasing guidelines and processes.
• All software, equipment, or materials must be purchased at the department level.
• Software and hardware purchases must go through the ICT Accessibility Approval Process. Work with your department admin staff to initiate this.
• Always consult your department admin staff or the College Budget Analyst for purchasing restrictions.
