Finance has completed a periodic review and update to its existing policies. As part of that review, a comprehensive travel policy is being implemented and will become effective July 1, 2022.

The policy combines and replaces two previously existing policies titled Accounts Payable Guidelines and Group Travel. The purpose of the policy is to provide guidance for expenses incurred while traveling on University business. It is intended to comply with Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations and the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) definition of an Accountable Plan.

Starting this Thursday, June 30, the travel policy will be available for public review and comment on the Policies under Review webpage. The policy will be posted for comment for two weeks. Please take a moment to review the policy.
