Employee Travel Arrangements
- The traveler or their delegate (e.g., department administrative staff) is responsible for booking travel.
- A University Purchasing Card (PurCard) should be used whenever possible .
- For conference registrations, if a PurCard is not accepted or available for payment, please submit a Check Request Form to the Disbursement Center for pre-payment. Payments made with personal funds will be reimbursed after the conference has occurred.
- If a traveler chooses to pay for travel arrangements personally instead of using a UVM PurCard, they will be reimbursed only after returning from the trip.
Non-Employee Travel Arrangements
- For prospective employees, independent contractors, consultants, foreign visiting scholars, and volunteers, departments may choose whether to arrange travel using a UVM PurCard, or submit a Check Request form which requires departments to receive receipts from the individual.
- For guest speakers, departments may use a UVM PurCard, a Check Request form (departments will need to include the individual's receipts), or include it on the requisition accompanied by the Speaker Engagement Letter.
