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.
