Travel Guidelines for Booking Travel & Receiving Reimbursement

ENCOURAGED READING PRIOR TO BOOKING TRAVEL:

TRAVEL FUNDS:

Email Inge-Marie and Emily Myers for travel fund approval
Once it has been approved, and you are a postdoc or current fellow (in your paid year of fellowship) and you are NOT able to apply for an employee travel card, then the program admin will be booking your travel. To this end, please email melanie.stroud@uconn.edu with details of your travel arrangements including:
- your full name as it appears on your id/passport
- your date of birth
- phone number
- preferred travel days/times
- preferred departure cities if flying
- preferred airline and frequent flier # (if any)

For conference registration, the log in credentials so that the registration can be purchased with a Pro Card

If you are a GA, and not a funded fellow this year, AND you have an employee travel card then you will book your own travel

You will need to apply for your own travel card and book your own travel with Anthony Travel by emailing uconncampustravel@anthonytravel.com and then reconcile it in Concur.
Email Inge-Marie or Emily for the KFS account number to use for reconciling.
If you have any questions about the process, please contact travel@uconn.edu and they can assist you.

Make sure that you have receipts and justification for each expense. Gratuities over 20% will not be reimbursed**
