Per the Faculty/AP manual, section FI, faculty members must notify the Chair of their travel plans. PRIOR approval is required for all travel (personal or business) and before making a commitment for all travel on department funds. This approval must be in writing on this form.

This form must also be used when traveling under conditions where no travel authorization form is processed. This will include travel at no cost to the University - that is, when funds are provided for consulting, meetings, etc., by a non-University source - or when using your own or a Motor Pool vehicle when reimbursement may be requested but where no travel authorization is required. Approval of this form while on University business also provides you with Worker’s Compensation coverage during your trip.
