Anyone traveling on University business must obtain permission in advance of the trip. A Request for Travel Authorization (RTA) form must be completed prior to travel. Complete the form based on allowable rates and vendor quotes. Obtain supervisor and account holder’s signatures verifying funds available.
For airfare, a requisition must be created and the requisition number provided to National Travel for securing airfare. Attach the RTA form to the Travel Voucher form upon the completion of travel. National Travel may only be used for employees and prospective employees.
Foreign Travel
Official University business travel to any foreign country other than Canada or Mexico requires authorization from the Provost at least 30-days prior to departure. Upon Provost approval, the form will be forwarded to the Chancellor for final approval by the Chair of the TWU Board of Regents. Actual expenses are reimbursable. All receipts must be attached to the Travel Voucher and show conversion rate to US dollars.
