    No Cost Travel   If you need to travel for University Business purposes, but no expenses will be charged to your accounts, you still must do a Travel Approval Request.

    Domestic Travel   Pre-approval is required for travel conducted outside the state of Maryland. Travelers who travel within the United States must have an approved Travel Approval Request prior to the travel occurring. After the travel is completed, the traveler must submit an Expense Statement with receipts for approval. Travel Requests and Expense Statements are available in the Business Office.

    Foreign Travel   Pre-approval is required for Foreign Travel. This is done via a UPAS. The Account Clerk will need a justification from the PI, along with his or her signature. Foreign travel reimbursed to the traveler using sponsored funds requires the use of procedures that comply with the Fly America Act. This act requires the use of a U.S. Air Carrier. The ticket must be ISSUED by a US carrier. After the Travel Approval Request is approved by the Department, it must also be approved by ORAA. After the travel has been completed, the traveler must submit a signed, completed Expense Statement with receipts to the Account Manager.
