Travel Tips 

Travel Authorization and Travel Reimbursement Forms

When completing Travel Authorization (TA) and Reimbursement Forms please keep the following in mind:

  • On TA forms, please provide a clear and complete reason for your travel. For example, if you are giving a talk, participating in a panel, coordinating the conference, attending as an office of the professional organization, recruiting faculty, etc. these reasons should be explicitly stated on the TA form.
  • Please spell out the full name of the conference or professional organization on the TA form, rather than using the organization's acronym.
  • Reimbursement requests for shared hotel rooms need to be split across those using the hotel. A state employee is not allowed to request reimbursement for another employee's expenses. Hotels will generally split bills across guests sharing a room, which should facilitate your reimbursement requests.
  • When requesting reimbursement for the conference registration fee or an airline ticket for which you have paid with a credit card, please provide a copy of your credit card statement that shows you were charged for those items and the amount for which you were charged. If you pay for these items with a personal check, please submit a copy of your cancelled check with your Travel Reimbursement form.
