Travel Advances

The University has a small travel advance fund for student travel from which up to 70 percent of the reimbursable subsistence, mileage and other expenses of a trip can be advanced.

Employees


Because employees have access to the Bank of America Visa Travel card, travel advances will not be made unless under extenuating circumstances.  A written request must be submitted to, and approved by, the University Bursar.  An advance to the holder of a Bank of America Visa Card will not be made under any circumstances.

Students

A student may receive an advance if a TA is on file in the Controller's Office and projected reimbursable expenses total $25.00 or more.  If an advance is received for a group of students, one individual must be designated as a responsible party to receive, account for and repay the advance. The advance will be made to the individual, in person, at the Office of Financial Services on the last business day before departure.  Upon return the TRV must be submitted within seven business days.  The travel advances must be repaid in person within three business days after receiving notification that the reimbursement check is available.
