Purpose
Travel is for official UT business and professional development. Business travel is not for personal or family vacations and is a privilege that can be revoked. Travelers within the Undergraduate College must abide by travel and reimbursement policies by:
- IRS and Federal Regulations
- University-wide policies
- UC-specific procedures and policies
These policies are in place to increase efficiency in approving travel requests and reimbursements. We must abide by these policies to comply with audit requirements from the state of Texas and the University of Texas at Austin.
Once your travel has been approved by your immediate supervisor and the SLC director, use this guide to prepare for your travel. It's a step-by-step process of completing your Request for Travel (RTA), making flight and hotel reservations, paying for your registration, and much more.
