Cost-Effective Travel for University Business

University policies regarding travel and expenses should be followed to utilize the most cost-effective and efficient method of travel. To ensure compliance and responsible use of funds, travel should be limited to costs that are reasonable, necessary, appropriate business expenses, and justifiable.   

Per the Travel Manual, excess costs, circuitous routes, delays, luxury accommodations, and services unnecessary, unjustified, or for the convenience or personal preference of the employee in the performance of official state business are prohibited. Employees will be responsible for unauthorized costs, costs incurred for personal reasons, and costs incurred in variance with this standard.
