We would like to remind all faculty and staff that travel advances may be requested for out-of-pocket travel costs. Travel costs normally paid through a travel advance include meals, taxis, parking, and tolls. Advances should not be requested for items that can be paid directly by the college’s Accounting Office such as airfare and registration fees, or for costs such as lodging that should be charged to a credit card. Due to the significant increase in travel and limited funding in the Cash Advance Account, we will strictly adhere to these terms effective immediately.
