Travel
Travel Advances are available on a limited basis. They may be requested for meals and mileage only. To request an advance, submit a Travel Advance form. After the Advance is received, the recipient is required to submit a Travel Support form so the campus is reimbursed for the advance.
To receive reimbursement for business travel expenses, fill out and submit a Reimbursement Voucher with proper receipts (DuBois requires receipts for meals) to the Director of Business Services. Make sure your budget administrator signs it before you submit it. Allow approximately two weeks for reimbursement.
University employees who are traveling on University Business may request the use of vans belonging to the Wildlife Department. Approval is required by your budget administrator. You will be charged mileage by the Wildlife Department, which schedules use of the vans. Any accidents occurring with University-owned vehicles must be reported to the Director of Business Services immediately.
