Travel Approval
If You Are Planning to Travel:
The University of Maryland's travel policies are intended to facilitate
travel and travel arrangements; to provide full reimbursement for all
necessary expenses; and to protect travelers against the risk of loss,
while simultaneously maintaining the necessary controls for accountability.
Prior approval is required for all travel except in-state
with no overnight stay.
A Travel Approval Request Form must be completed and submitted as soon
as possible before your departure. The Travel Approval Form is
available online and can be submitted electronically for your convenience.
Paper copies of the form can be found in the Business Office during hours
of operation. Amounts given on the form should be your best estimate of your
expenses. You will be reimbursed for your actual expenses. All information
requested on the form must be provided.
Travel Reimbursement
An Expense Statement must be completed as soon as possible after you return.
If using the on line form, print and return to the Business Office.
Paper copies can be found in the Business Office.
Please attach ORIGINAL Receipts and give these to
your Account Manager. Per diem for meals may be claimed without
